History

Highfield Qualifications was formed in 2008 by the Sprenger family following on from the success of their training materials business Highfield.co.uk Ltd (now known as Highfield Products Ltd).

In 2010 Highfield Qualifications expanded its operations to the middle east, opening an office in Dubai. This development was brought about as a result of the Dubai Municipality contacting the company Chairman, Richard Sprenger, a renowned food safety expert, following the death of two young children from food poisoning from a local restaurant.

Sprenger was invited to work closely with the Dubai Municipality to introduce a new Person in Charge initiative across the emirate. This initiative required all food establishments, with either one (or more) qualified person in charge being accountable to their employer and the government for making sure that they and the employees on their shift are following established policies and procedures for food safety.

Highfield won the Doncaster Chamber Large Business of the Year Award in 2013.

Highfield received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade in 2016.
