Which one sounds like you?
Every business arrives at ISO differently. Pick yours.
A big contract wants ISO 9001. You have never had to deal with it.
“All I knew was that we needed it by next month, and I wanted something we would actually understand.”
ISO used to be a big-company thing. Now the buyers you want expect it from firms your size too, and your system should be built around how you work.
You would not send a child out on a bike without a helmet. ISO is that helmet for a growing business. Go without it, and the contract goes to someone who has it.
We get you certified in time for this contract, with a system that fits you now and grows with you.

Jeanette listened with a sympathetic ear to our concerns and needs, and then worked with us to find satisfactory solutions which both satisfied us and was compliant to the standard. It was refreshing to be listened to rather than dictated to as to how we should run our company. I would certainly recommend her guidance for ISO 9001.

You have had ISO for years. Now you need someone new to look after it.
“I need someone who will look after it, not rip it all up to make their mark.”
We believe a system that already works should be looked after carefully, with changes only where they are needed.
Your helmet already fits. The wrong consultant swaps it for a new one, and your team spends the next year getting used to it.
We keep everything that already works, and make the move to a new consultant easy for you and your team.

She takes the time to understand our requirements and provides clear guidance throughout the process, making what can be a complex task much more manageable.

You have been handed ISO. Nobody asked if you had time.
“I am good at my job, and I want this audit to go well on my watch.”
Nobody should carry ISO on their own. It works best when the person running it has an expert behind them.
You are already juggling a lot, and ISO needs proper attention. Sharing it with someone who knows ISO inside out takes the weight off.
We make you confident in your system, without it taking over your job.

From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. She took the time to understand our business, helped us bring our Quality Policy Manual fully up to date, and guided us through the requirements needed to prepare for our BSI assessment. She also carried out our Internal Audits, making sure we were properly prepared and confident going into the certification process. After just two days working with her, we successfully achieved our ISO 9001:2015 certification through BSI — something we’re incredibly proud of!
