PrepWorld, part of the BerryWorld Group, is a leading prepared fruit supplier known for its fresh, high-quality fruit packs.
Since its establishment in 2012, PrepWorld has built expertise across various fruit categories, including tropical, exotic, stone, top fruit, and citrus, positioning itself at the forefront of industry innovation.
PrepWorld is committed to upholding rigorous health, safety, and legal standards as a company, prioritising quality and compliance.
However, during a recent OHSAS18001 audit, PrepWorld faced penalties due to delays in providing timely answers to auditor inquiries.
The issue was traced back to a complex, time-consuming system overloaded with hundreds of legal documents, making navigating and managing difficult.
Recognising the need for streamlined compliance to maintain peak performance, PrepWorld sought a solution to make managing its regulatory requirements straightforward and accessible. The answer was clear—they needed a comprehensive legal register.
Creating a legal register is no small task, and PrepWorld knew they needed an experienced partner to handle the challenge. Fortunately, they had a strong recommendation from their parent company, BerryWorld, which had already benefited from Barbour EHS’s compliance solutions.
“BerryWorld and other companies in our group have had a positive experience with Barbour EHS,” shared PrepWorld. “With that recommendation, we felt confident moving forward with Barbour EHS.”
After an initial consultation, PrepWorld was assured that Barbour EHS could deliver the best solution. “Barbour’s extensive industry experience and track record with successful, leading UK businesses made them the ideal choice for us.”
The project’s top priority was to create a compliance system tailored specifically for the people using it daily—the PrepWorld staff. Barbour EHS remained focused on user needs throughout the entire development process.
The first step was to build an online legal library, consolidating all relevant legislation into one accessible location. This streamlined solution brought together previously scattered and difficult-to-manage documents, providing a single, organised source for compliance information.
The next critical step was staff training. PrepWorld shared, “The coaching session was highly informative and practical, giving our team the confidence they needed to use the system effectively.”
Barbour’s legal register service has revolutionised compliance management for PrepWorld. With this new system in place, PrepWorld has confidently met its internal goals, allowing it to address questions on its health & safety management system with assurance, thanks to a comprehensive, accessible legal register.
The impact of their audit performance has also been evident. “We’ve improved our OHSAS18001 audits and achieved outstanding results. This system will also support our transition from OHSAS18001 to ISO45001,” PrepWorld reported.
Crucially, the system has been embraced by the team members who rely on it most. “Our team members feel confident using the system, which in turn makes us feel fully prepared for future audits,” they shared.
Overall, PrepWorld has been thrilled with Barbour’s support throughout the process. “The communication and enthusiasm Barbour demonstrated to help us build the ideal online legal library were unmatched.”
