Nick Flynn

Nick Flynn has spent over a decade managing supplier quality and food safety in food manufacturing environments across the UK and Nordic markets. He has led supplier quality programmes at food manufacturers operating under BRCGS, FSSC 22000 and other GFSI-recognised schemes.

Northern Food Safety Consulting was founded to make senior food safety expertise accessible to mid-size manufacturers who need it — without the cost and commitment of a full-time Technical Manager hire. NFSC templates, courses and consulting services are all built from real supplier quality programmes, not adapted from generic frameworks.

The focus is always practical: does this work in a real food manufacturing environment? Does it stand up to a GFSI audit? Can a QA team actually use it without heavy adaptation? If not, it goes back to the drawing board.

SupplierConnect — Nick's AI-powered supplier assurance platform — was built to solve the same problems he faced managing supplier compliance manually. It is designed around real GFSI audit requirements and real supplier quality workflows.
