Derek McGurl - Managing Director

As the MD of DMG Food Safety Solutions, I have a long term passion for high standards from all food businesses, regardless of their size. I have worked in the food industry since leaving school, including management with a large high street retailer, specialising in fresh produce and also the meat industry until 1984, at which time I began my career in Environmental Health as a Meat Inspector until the new meat hygiene service came into effect from 1996.

I subsequently joined the Environmental Health food team as a full time Food Safety Officer and Senior Enforcement Office the following year. Through gentle persuasion and hard work, I achieved a number of food safety qualifications, leading to my degree in Environmental Health from Leeds Met in 2005.

For 26 years, my main duties at the Local Authorities Environmental Health Department were to carry out food hygiene inspections, including awarding the Food Standards Agency Food Hygiene Awards. Other duties include food complaint investigations, infectious disease control, food and water sampling. For 10 years, I was in charge of running the Council’s food hygiene training activities. This was the area that I enjoyed the most.

"Derek is a great guy who takes care to assist with all health and hygiene questions and offers great courses on the topic"

- Course Client 1

"First class service from Mr. McGurl, full of knowledge and expert advice given as we received our third in a row 5 star for Food Hygiene. Top class and would always recommend this guy.

- Course Client 2

"Brilliant! He put us at ease. It was like having one big chat, it didn't feel like I was in the classroom. This made it so much easier to learn. Derek was great, he presented everything well & was clear when talking, he also explained things that we were unsure of! It was all relevant and interesting too...Oddly, I quite enjoyed it!

My husband and I have worked with Derek for many years and we are grateful for his expertise and advice highly. His training methods and skills are second to none and we feel very happy and assured to send any member of staff on one of his great training courses.
