NNR WDC is BRCGS A-Grade Certified: What it means for you

Modern supply chains are more complex than ever. Products often pass through multiple hands – factories, shipping hubs, warehouses and delivery networks – before reaching their final destination. At every stage, there’s potential risk to product quality, safety and integrity.

At NNR UK, we recognise that storage and distribution are no longer “behind-the-scenes” functions. They’re a critical link in the chain. That’s why we’re proud to announce that our Wellingborough Distribution Centre has achieved BRCGS Storage & Distribution A-grade certification – one of the highest recognised standards in the industry.

But what does this actually mean for you as a customer?

What is the BRCGS Storage & Distribution Standard?

BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) is a globally recognised benchmark for maintaining product safety, quality and operational excellence in logistics.

The Storage & Distribution Standard focuses on:

• Ensuring safe handling of food, packaging and consumer goods
• Implementing robust risk-based product safety systems
• Driving continuous improvement across operations

It applies to any part of the distribution chain – whether it’s warehousing, transportation, or cross-docking and provides supply chain assurance trusted by retailers, brands and manufacturers around the world.

What does an A-grade mean?

An A-grade is awarded to facilities that:

• Comply fully with the Standard’s stringent requirements
• Maintain consistent and well-documented safety and hygiene practices
• Embed processes into daily operations, not just for the audit

For our Wellingborough site, it means zero exclusions – full compliance across all storage and distribution activities.

How does this benefit you?

When you trust us with your products, you’re also trusting us with your brand reputation. Here’s how this certification benefits you:

• Peace of mind

Your goods are stored in an environment that’s independently verified to meet world-class standards.

• Protection for sensitive products

From ambient food and drinks to packaging materials and consumer products, we follow strict controls to safeguard quality.

• Alignment with industry expectations

For FMCG businesses, working with a certified logistics partner reduces operational risk and supports compliance needs.

What’s next?

This certification isn’t just a badge of honour; it reflects the way we operate every day. The practices demonstrated during the audit are now embedded into our culture, ensuring we continue to deliver safe, reliable and efficient services.

As consumer expectations and supply chain demands evolve, we’ll keep raising our standards to stay ahead – helping your products move seamlessly and safely.
