Quality Management

The proper introduction of a structured quality management system (or business management system) will bring significant benefits to an organisation. We recommend the implementation of ISO 9001, certification to UKAS standard as the basis for a fully integrated risk and quality management system.

Why UKAS?

Having your management system certified by a certification body accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation System is the ONLY way you can be certain of truly independent third body certification. Many organisations offer “off the shelf” packages but the old adage of “buyer beware” should definitely be heeded here. Only through certification by a UKAS accredited body can you be certain your system complies.
