The presentation to P.E.I. food production executives was hosted by Navigate Food Safety Solutions, of which Hanley is a co-founder.
“As business leaders you can’t necessarily be involved in every aspect of food safety,” said Hanley. “That’s why we wanted to speak to executives about what their role should be in ensuring food production is safe and meets all required standards.”
There is an emerging and diversifying food sector being fostered on Prince Edward Island, from food science, new product development, production and export opportunities.
“As these businesses grow and look to export products they will be required to have more robust food safety management systems, that’s where Alex’s expertise becomes vital,” said Tyson MacInnis of the Food Island Partnership.
Hanley has worked with international brands, and food production facilities of all sizes for more than 20 years. It was this experience, and the ongoing challenges that he saw in plants every day, that moved Alex to start his own company, which is now based on Prince Edward Island.
