About Us
Practical expertise. Clear advice. Confidence in food safety.
Food safety is an important part of running a successful hospitality business. It takes the right knowledge, consistent practices and an understanding of how things work on the ground.
VERA Assure helps hospitality and food businesses manage food safety and health and safety through independent audits, compliance reviews, training and practical guidance.
Our aim is to make compliance easier to understand and manage, with clear findings, sensible recommendations and support that reflects the realities of day-to-day operations.

VERA Assure is led by Vijay Venkatesh, MSc Environmental Health, Registered Environmental Health Professional (REnvH), MCIEH.

A practical approach to compliance
Advice you can put into practice
Food safety guidance should be clear and relevant to the way your business operates. We focus on explaining findings and recommending practical steps that help businesses address risks and improve their procedures.
Professional and independent support
Every business has its own challenges. We take the time to understand the operation and provide an independent perspective based on the agreed scope of work.
Building better everyday practices
Good compliance depends on more than documentation. It requires people to understand their responsibilities and follow effective procedures consistently. Our approach supports businesses in developing and maintaining those practices.
Supporting your business
Whether you need an independent food safety audit, a review of your compliance arrangements or training for your team, VERA Assure can discuss your requirements and the support that may be appropriate for your business.
