Congratulations to the staff team of Priory Court
for achieving and maintaining the highest standard in
“Food Safety & Hygiene” for the past twelve years.
The local authority has issued this most prestigious
5 star award (pictured) to the Court after a random
inspection of all businesses in Knowsley, Merseyside.
Many businesses display their award when achieving
only three stars, thus showing the importance placed
on it and how coveted it is.
The photograph shows Jeanette Wilson (cook) and
Gill Challis (HKA) with the award. They are part of the
catering team whose efforts secured this recognition.
