NCASS started out as MOCA, the Mobile & Outside Caterers Association in 1987 when a group of mobile caterers banded together to get a better deal for mobile catering businesses. Over time we developed tools and resources of value to all catering companies and to reflect that we became the Nationwide Caterers Association in 2005. We have been industry leaders in numerous fields, developing our own
Due Diligence systems to the principles HACCP long before Safer Food Better Business, the first online level 3 training course, the first online sustainability in catering course and much more, all delivered to members at the lowest possible cost. In October 2013 we entered into a government sanctioned Primary Authority Partnership with Cherwell District environmental health to develop 'assured advice and guidance' for our members and for use by environmental health & enforcement officers, covering all aspects of our business, but also to act as a conduit between industry and enforcement/government, developing best practice and industry knowledge. We were also asked to join the Business Expert Food Hygiene Group by the Better Regulatory Delivery Office (part of the Dept of Business Industry & Skills). The BEFHG meets with industry experts and government representatives to advise on the impact on business of food hygiene regulation and the practicalities of its implementation. We are able to raise issues for discussion as well as commenting on issues relating to our customers and industry. This forum is open for all to use, however, it's main focus is to enable easy access for our customers to raise issues with us and discuss the industry. For this reason we ask that non-members do not post adverts or promotions on this page as we will remove them. Our members pay their hard earned money to be part of the association and their needs are our priority. We couldn't do what we do without them, their feedback and support.
