Shaun Sookoo, CEO of Food Division, is proud to announce that Food Division has achieved the prestigious MSDUK Ethnic Minority Business Certification. This significant milestone underscores the company’s commitment to diversity and excellence within the industry.
MSDUK (Minority Supplier Development UK) is the UK’s leading supplier diversity advocacy organisation. It is dedicated to representing and certifying non-white ethnic minority-owned businesses. The certification aims to foster the growth and sustainability of these businesses by facilitating connections with global corporations committed to a more diverse and inclusive supply chain.
To achieve MSDUK certification, businesses must meet the following criteria: the business must be a for-profit enterprise; it must be physically located in the UK and registered with Companies House, operating under UK Company Law; at least 51% of the business must be owned by individuals from non-white ethnic minority groups; the non-white ethnic minority owners must be UK citizens or have indefinite leave to remain in the UK, or any other visa leading to ILR; and the non-white ethnic minority owners must be actively involved in the management and daily operations of the business.
Achieving MSDUK certification is a testament to Food Division’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. This certification not only validates the company’s efforts to date but also opens up new opportunities for collaboration with global corporations committed to supplier diversity. It is a recognition of the hard work and commitment of the entire Food Division team in maintaining the highest standards in the industry.
With this certification, Food Division is poised to further its mission of delivering high-quality catering services while promoting diversity across the supply chain. Shaun Sookoo commented, “We look forward to leveraging this certification to build stronger partnerships and continue our growth trajectory.”
For Shaun, this achievement is more than just a milestone; it is a step forward in his ongoing mission to drive inclusivity and excellence within Food Division. The MSDUK certification is a powerful endorsement that will help propel the company towards even greater success and impact.
