2024 has been an incredible year for the Klipspringer Team. From hosting insightful Industry Webinars to expanding our range of products and solutions, we’ve embraced every opportunity to grow and innovate.

Along the way, we attended some fantastic Industry Events and celebrated our progress with both new and familiar faces at our full team gatherings. Another highlight of the year was the return of the FSI Conference in June, which was met with glowing reviews from all involved. And, of course, we can’t forget one of our biggest milestones: moving to a brand-new premises.

As the year comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on just a few of our favourite moments – none of which would have been possible without your continued trust and support. Thank you for being an integral part of the Klipspringer journey, and here’s to even more exciting possibilities in 2025!

Klipspringer moved to a New Headquarters

After months of planning and tireless work from the Klipspringer Team, we were excited to finally move into our new Headquarters.

To celebrate this milestone moment, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, along with an amazing cake that highlighted our 25th year of trading as a company.

It has been fantastic spending 2024 at our new premises – making the most of our improved facilities, increased stock capacity, state of the art equipment, and dedicated customer hub.

We attended some fantastic Industry Events

In February, Klipspringer Directors Alex Carlyon and Murray Carlyon attended BRCGS Connect Europe in Coventry.

Wes Carlyon took our Food Oil Monitor to Elior UK’s Innovation Summit and won the Dragon’s Den-style Think Tank Event.

Simone Lamport, Hadley Smith, Wes Carlyon and Pete Carlyon went to the Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering Show at the ExCeL London.

In June, The Proactive Food Safety Conference returned for its eighth year and Klipspringer was there as a key exhibitor.

Alex Carlyon and Justin Tunley attended Day 3 of the Samworth Food Safety and Quality Week, sharing their expertise on hygiene.

We sponsored The Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers Conference, an event for the Scottish meat processing industry.

Klipspringer exhibited at the National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show in London (previously known as the Casual Dining show).

Jacob Smith represented Klipspringer at a Food Safety Carnival hosted by Pickstock Telford Limited, raising awareness for food safety.

The FSI Conference was a huge success!

In June, we celebrated the return of our own food industry event: the Food Safety Innovation Conference. Taking place at the University of Lincoln, this collaborative forum delivered on its promise to shine a light on true innovation, challenge the status quo, and advance food safety hygiene through networking and knowledge sharing.

As a collaborative effort from Klipspringer and FoodClean, a great deal of work went into delivering a successful conference and we would like to say a huge thank you to the teams involved, along with the attendees who travelled from near and far to take part.

We hosted two Powerful Webinars

The Power of Positive Energy: Driving Predictable Food Safety Outcomes

In February, Director Alex Carlyon was joined by Denis Treacy, former Chief Officer for Safety and Quality at Pladis Global, and Reineke van Riemsdijk, Technical Quality Manager and Sustainability Lead at Nestlé Nespresso S.A, for a webinar on the way in which positive energy can be harnessed to secure predictable food safety outcomes. The panel covered topics such as the secret to positive decision making, the principles of GOYA, and the four energies needed for predictable and repeatable results. 

Is ATP monitoring effective? An all-new approach to hygiene monitoring for High Care environments.

In April, Alex was joined by Scientific Advisor, Dr Stephan Speidel and our in-house A3 Specialist, Radek Tameczka to discuss the importance of Cleaning Verification in High Care Environments. Providing real-world examples of A3 verification at High Care production sites, the panel explored the limitations of conventional hygiene monitoring methods – outlining the key differences between these methods and the more sensitive A3 system.

We supported Important Causes and Events

At Klipspringer, we welcome any opportunity to bring our team together in the name of an important cause or event. That is why we recognised Mental Health Awareness Week in May, organising a wide range of activities for the Klipspringer Team.

From walks in the fresh air and a nutritious BBQ lunch to interactive games and a call to wear green on Mental Health Day, the week was a valuable experience for everyone involved. Klipspringer was also proud to make a donation to Suffolk Mind – Suffolk’s Independent Mental Health Charity.

This year, we also recognised World Food Day, an important event for anyone working within the Food Production Industry.

With nutrition a focal point of the day, we wanted to ensure our team was well catered for – literally! So, we arranged for a food truck to visit Klipspringer HQ, serving up some delicious Thai cuisine.

Another key message of the day was the importance of everyone having access to safe and nutritious food. With this in mind, we made a donation to World Food Programme – the world’s largest humanitarian organisation.

In December, Klipspringer also made a donation to
FIND Foodbank – an organisation based in Ipswich that provides food parcels and personal care items to families in need. We couldn’t think of a better way to end the year than by showing our support to this worthy cause.

And that wraps up our 2024 Year in Review! We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your support over the past twelve months, it has been a privilege to collaborate with you in championing safe food for all.
