At Warisco Consulting Services, we dream big and envision our business as being the point of reference on food safety and quality assurance; at local, regional and international levels. We believe through our partnership with PECB, we will be able to reach out to underserved areas as well as offer unrivaled services to our esteemed clients. As Warisco team, it has been our desire to provide our clients with full packages including lead auditor training and management systems certification audits. However, these services have been restricted to certification bodies under the watchful eyes of accreditation bodies. Through our partnership with PECB, we now look forward to scaling up our operations to cover these key areas under the watchful eyes of PECB. Our partnership shall be a synergetic relationship where the two companies shall depend and support one another. We shall employ the power of our local and regional networks and experience in supporting PECB in penetrating the Kenyan and regional markets. To us, this is an opportunity like no other!
