ABOUT US

A Certification Body like no other

Are you looking for a Certification Body that cares?   Although our name may be new to you, we have been involved in management systems assessment and certification for many years.    That does not stop us from taking a fresh approach to certification.   We are not profit lead as a certification service and proud of our traditions of putting the needs of your business first.  

Increasingly recognised, always improving

We are recognised by others -   Like the big Certification Bodies, we are accredited by UKAS for assessment against International and British Standards. Like only 3 other Certification Bodies, we are recognised by the Cabinet Office for assessment and certification against Charter Mark and our sister organisation Centre for Assessment & Recognition NW Ltd are appointed by Investors in People UK .

We are the only Certification Body capable of assessing your organisation to Investors in People and any other combination of standards at the same time.   Now, that’s what we call integrated & it could mean cost savings for you

for British small business

Yes!  We see ourselves as the Certification Body for small business and work hard at being down-to-earth, local and accessible nationally.    (More your local, friendly weather presenter than a detached, global newsreader)

We want you to benefit from the best practices summarised in the Standards that we assess your organisation to.  We are increasingly represented in each of the UK regions and, even when we’re not, we will ensure that you are always in touch with a real person who speaks your language

Helping you to help your clients

We are a partnership organisation.   We have effective relationships with Government Departments, Local Government, Business Links, Chambers of Commerce and other public and private sector bodies and if you represent a training organisation, a consultancy or are able to carry out assessments, we would like to hear from you.  Almost every service we offer is delivered by quality assured partners and associates like you

Impartial, professional and reliable

As a UKAS Accredited Certification Body, we do not wish to risk any conflict of interest by offering consultancy.   We are concerned to help you to find the help you need. We are therefore happy to refer you to consultants and other support services who are local to you and able to support the special needs of you business

We do offer pre-assessment services and are always on hand to offer training, guidance and encouragement every step of the way
