1992

First internationally accredited Halal certifier in the UK

Halal consumers’ uncertainty in the early 1990s to what they could and could not consume was the primary reason for HCE’s inception. The organisation was set-up to bridge the knowledge gap between Halal requirements and the technical and scientific complexity of food production. HCE’s professional and scientific team contributed to a better understanding of Halal between producers and their Halal customers. Keeping our passion for Halal, we became the first internationally accredited certification body in the UK to promote Halal to companies and consumers alike.

2000s

Success through quality

As our expertise and experience grew, we found ourselves at the forefront of the growing Halal industry. Our superior customer service was, and still is, a crucial differentiator in helping HCE stand above the rest. Soon after, our client portfolio began to build, with businesses seeking our services as our Halal certificate and exceptional service combined began to deliver value-added results.

Testimonials
