Which shark will take the second bite?

Will it be the guitar shark?

Or the lemon shark?

Or even the sting rays?!

Roll up roll up, the Cert ID BRC Conference!

Tuesday the 16th of October was a great day for Cert ID Europe and FoodChain Europe, and maybe a date to go down in history? Yesterday saw the first of hopefully many Cert ID BRC Conferences!

The Cert ID BRC Conference was held at the Crown Plaza in Birmingham, with an array of different exhibitors and clients from Cert ID's client portfolio. The event was held exclusively for Cert ID BRC clients, and quite frankly we couldn't be happier with the results! The day highlighted some important points from the BRC themselves  some great insights from members of the Cert ID team, an auditors insight from a Cert ID auditor and also some excellent labeling and regulations information from FoodChain Europe.

The event had a fantastic turn out from both exhibitors and delegates, and an also better result with the Cert ID charity! Of course we try and plug the fact that we are diving with sharks and raising money for Birmingham Children's Hospital at any event (after all it is all for charity...) therefore we posted our baby pictures up and allowed our clients to have a guess. We raised over £50 on the baby picture game alone which is fantastic news and a great achievement!

So what else is there to say? Great client feedback, great turn out, great donations for the charity, so overall a great day for Cert ID and FoodChain!

Lets Do The Time Warp Again!!

Cert ID Europe and FoodChain Europe do like to plan ahead! Today we're arranging our spook fest for Halloween  We plan to dress as ghosts, vampires, black cats or the dreaded BRC auditor... all of this is for a good cause though and it shall be raising money for our charity this year. As you may well know we are diving with sharks this year to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital, and on the way we are also doing little charitable activities to help raise awareness as well.

So are you brave enough to join in? Visit our Just Giving page if you are.

It’s all for Charity!

If you’d like to help us raise money for charity, maybe just do your bit and simply see Cert ID and FoodChain get eaten by sharks! To help us out please click on the link below and kindly donate any spare pennies you may have for such a worthy cause – Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Whether it is 1p or £10, it really doesn't matter as any amount can make a difference.

Autumn this year we at Cert ID and FoodChain, all plan to get into our diving gear and jump into that tank but only if we can hit our target, so please help us out because we believe that diving into a tank of sharks is nothing like what little Poppy Guilder has had to go through for 8 years of her life! And the rest of the little boy and girls who have been overcome with some of these difficulties throughout their lives.

Visit our Just Giving page and have a read of Poppy’s brave and encouraging story!

Dress Down Fridays, what's the verdict?

Well the last Dress Down Friday went down a treat! We're afraid there are no pictures but Cert ID and FoodChain can ensure no pajamas or fancy dress pieces were present, however we have many dress down Fridays to come so the fancy dress may be out!

Cert ID and FoodChain are dressing down on a Friday to help raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital in the build up to our final charity event of the Shark Dive! We're risking our limbs and our nerves to help raise money for a great cause, so why not help us out? Visit our Just Giving page to donate, or pop on by on a Friday, pay your £1 and dress down like the rest of us.

Taking the Plunge

Cert ID Europe and FoodChainEurope visited Birmingham Children’s Hospital this week to see where and how our donations would be put to a great cause. Cert ID and FoodChain have decided to raise money specifically for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital cancer ward. At the moment two wards are dedicated to this cause, the first for 12-16 year olds which is a new ward, with new equipment, and secondly another ward for new borns to 11 year olds. This ward is quite cramped in a rundown building with quite outdated surrounding, which is why Cert ID and FoodChain have decided to focus our sponsorship on this particular great cause.

Cert ID and FoodChain are taking part in a number of different charitable activities leading up to our shark dive in the autumn of this year. For example, we are kicking off our sponsorship and charitable season with a dress down Friday ever Friday. Pay £1 and dress how you like we say! Furthermore, we have an Olympic/sport themed fancy dress day on the 2^nd of August, as well as some great bake sales which will be coming up in the next few weeks.

Want to get involved or help out?

Well if you really wanted to you could visit Cert ID and FoodChain when we have our bake sale and feast on cakes, cookies and flapjack! Or pop on down on a Friday to dress how you like? Or even better, help Cert ID and FoodChain out by sponsoring at our Just Giving page (http://www.justgiving.co.uk/certideurope2012), our efforts are all leading up to our shark dive in September, therefore every penny up to the shark dive counts, and every penny will go to Birmingham Children’sHospital and their cancer ward.

Many thanks if you have already donated, it is a great help and all for a great cause!

Shark attack take 2!

Well the details are set in stone now for Cert ID and FoodChain Europe's charity event! The sharks have been informed, the scuba tanks are been filled, and the sponsor money is starting to come in!

Cert ID and FoodChain Europe are diving with sharks on the 6th of October 2012 to raise money for Birmginham Children's hospital on behalf of Poppy Guilder. The Poppy Guilder charity has been raising money for Birmingham Children's hospital to help support children such as Poppy. Therefore Cert ID and FoodChain also decided to help!

We'll be slimming down to fit into the wet-suits (also less for the sharks to bite) and we'll be trying to raise the sponsor money so that Birmingham Children's hospital can be helped out. So go on, sponsor us a few pence or two :)

Oh my, what big teeth you have!

At Cert ID Europe we like a challenge, we like to push ourselves to the limits, and we also like to be charitable! Over the years Cert ID Europe have gone to the extremes in the likes of skydiving, marathon running and excessive cake eating (no names mentioned), all for charitable causes (minor the latter...).

This year we are going out on a limb, and maybe losing a limb, by diving with sharks! Dates are not set in stone yet, the charity is not quite decided yet, but the activity certainly has been confirmed! Whether we will all dive into the deep I'm not sure, but I can guarantee the majority of the group's teeth will be chattering, and stomachs will be turning. Want to get involved? Just contact Cert ID, we're nice and friendly, especially if it is for a good cause.
