Muhammed Khairy Aziz

About you

My name is Mohamed Khairy Aziz, and I am a Quality and Food Safety Manager at Gulf Canning Company S.A.E, a leading organisation in the canned food industry. I am based in Sadat City, Menoufia, Egypt, where I have built my professional career in the food manufacturing sector with a strong focus on quality assurance and food safety.

I graduated from Al-Azhar University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Biochemistry, where I developed a strong scientific foundation in food chemistry, microbiology, and biochemical processes. This academic background has shaped my analytical and structured approach to problem-solving and decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have worked in major food companies such as Raya Foods and Mima Foods, gaining extensive experience in developing and implementing food safety and quality systems. I also had the opportunity to be directly involved in designing food manufacturing facilities from the ground up—from construction and commissioning to full operation—which strengthened my expertise in hygienic design, workflow optimisation, and building compliant facilities aligned with international standards.

Alongside my technical journey, I have developed strong leadership capabilities and a continuous improvement mindset. Outside of work, I value family time and enjoy activities related to personal development, professional reading, and staying up to date with advancements and global trends in the food industry.

Why did you join the BRCGS Professional Programme?

I joined the BRCGS Professional Program to strengthen my expertise in Product Safety Management, enhance brand protection for my organisation, and gain internationally recognised competence that supports strategic decision-making and drives continuous improvement across our operations.
