Protecting Your Organisation from Food Crime: Building Fraud Resilience in University Catering

Food crime is a growing challenge across the food and drink sector, with risks ranging from product substitution and adulteration to document fraud and misrepresentation.

Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost.
