Environmental health professionals, every one of us
Gage Health & Safety specialise in food safety, allergen management and health and safety advice for the events industry. Everyone on our team holds a CIEH-accredited environmental health degree, so we know the science, the law and the language local authorities use.
We also understand the commercial pressures of a live event. We work as part of your team, taking a positive, problem-solving approach to find safe and workable solutions, however demanding the setting.
Our Director, Dr Surindar Dhesi, is a chartered environmental health practitioner with over 20 years’ experience across local government regulation, private consultancy and academia, and is listed on the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (OSHCR).
Food safety support from planning to post-event report
Whether you run the event, own the venue or feed the crowds, we build food safety and allergen management into every stage.
Festival and exhibition food safety, built in from day one
We support organisers of everything from large outdoor festivals with on-site camping to indoor trade and food shows, at venues including the NEC, Olympia, ExCeL London and Tobacco Dock, and outdoor sites such as Regent’s Park and Laverstoke Park.
- Advising sales teams
- Exhibitor manual content
- Pre-event document checks
- Local authority liaison
- Food hygiene audits during show-open
- Detailed post-event reports
We also carry out caterer food safety audits for organisers running approval schemes, with clear reports on any actions needed to pass.
Approved food hygiene contractors for major venues
We’re approved food hygiene safety contractors for events at venues including the NEC and ExCeL London. We work closely with venue food safety teams and account managers on food safety, allergen management and cutting waste to landfill.
For venues with their own food offering, we audit suppliers and in-house caterers as part of ongoing approval and assurance schemes.
Ongoing food safety support for event caterers
We provide ongoing consultancy to event caterers, particularly in festival, wedding and TV and film catering. We help you build food safety management systems and manage allergen information all the way from buying raw ingredients to service.
We audit central kitchens and event sites as needed, and support positive conversations with local authority EHOs and external auditors.
