Expert assistance from professional ISO 9001 consultants NPT Management Systems

Last year, ISO rolled out a new version of the globally-renowned ISO 9001 standard for quality management systems. Dubbed ISO 9001:2015, this revision aimed to bring ISO 9001 into line with all the changes and developments that have taken place since the last revision in 2008.

ISO 9001:2015 was officially published in September 2015. Companies who achieved ISO 9001 accreditation under the old standard now have three years (from last September) to 'transition', i.e. migrate their processes and ensure that their quality management systems are compliant with this latest revision.

This may sound like a daunting task, particularly for large companies, but bringing your QMS (Quality Management System) up to date needn't be a nightmare. Here at NPT Management Systems, we have already helped numerous businesses with the ISO 9001:2015 transition, and we consistently succeed in getting the job done quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the company's operations.

Your experienced ISO 9001 consultant will:

• Review your current QMS
• Identify any areas that fall short of the updated requirements
• Develop a plan for transition and help you to implement it
• Assist you with getting re-certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards

If you would like our help with your company's ISO 9001:2015 transition, please don't hesitate to call 02380 659 867 or email enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk today.

We at NPT Management Systems pride ourselves on being a green, environmentally-friendly business. After all, we help businesses throughout the South of England to implement environmental management systems and achieve ISO 14001 certification, so it wouldn't look good if we ourselves weren't committed to fulfilling our eco-obligations!

Here's just a single example. Earlier this week, our Principal Consultant Neil Peattie travelled to the Isle of Wight. Most people who make the journey from Southampton to the IoW do so by car, crossing the Solent on the car ferry service from Southampton to East Cowes. However, in order to cut down on fuel emissions, Neil decided to travel by train, ferry, and his own scooter - very environmentally-conscious!

Eco-friendly travel is just the tip of the iceberg. We do everything we can to minimise our organisation's impact on the world around us - if you'd like to make sure that your business is doing the same, contact us now to find out how we can help you to achieve ISO 14001 certification.

Located near Portsmouth, Hampshire, Fluid Profiling Ltd are leaders in the supply of water jet cutting services to the precision engineering, aerospace, automotive and marine industries. When they needed to transition from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 certification, NPT Management Systems was their first port of call.

We can now proudly announce that Fluid Profiling Ltd passed their ISO 9001:2015 transition audit with a UKAS-accredited body with no non-conformances raised.

Here's what Company Director Helen Rawlins had to say in the wake of this superb outcome:

"We have worked with quality consultants before, but I can say that Neil Peattie's simple, pragmatic and professional approach helped to make the transition to ISO 9001:2015 painless. We are so proud that no non-conformances were raised, but more than that, we now have a quality system that is integrated within the business and which we all use as part of daily operations to help meet our customers' needs."

NPT Management Systems now offers a one-stop shop for businesses seeking UKAS-accredited ISO certification.

Historically, ISO consultants have only provided a consulting service, leaving clients to find a third-party certified body (such as BSI, LRQA, SGS, et cetera) on their own. This approach can often be time-consuming and confusing for business owners.

We at NPT can now help you to implement an ISO-compliant management system and have it certified by a UKAS-accredited certification under a single contract. This means that we do all the work for you, giving you more time to concentrate on your business itself.

We have helped many companies in places like Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth and Basingstoke to achieve ISO certification (sometimes known as ISO accreditation). Look at our customer reviews to find out more about our services and why we're so highly recommended throughout the South of England.

Team Concise was launched in August 2006, and aims to give young British sailors a future in competitive offshore racing. One of their more capable trimarans, Concise 10, has full ocean racing capabilities and can reach speeds of up to 40 knots - truly a force to be reckoned with!

When Team Concise needed help obtaining MCA codification for Concise 10, they turned to NPT Management Systems for help. Here's Team Concise Shore Manager Will Smeken to tell the rest of the story:

"We were initially concerned about whether anyone would have the necessary skills, training and experience to conduct risk assessments for a full ocean racing yacht like Concise 10. When we heard about NPT's extensive experience in the marine industry, we knew that they were our 'go to' guys and felt positive that they would be able to help.

"NPT made the process of conducting and completing the risk assessments to the MCA's requirements completely painless."

 NPT Management Systems are experienced in working in the marine industry, and we actively support youth sailing in the UK - our recent sponsorship of the Hamble River Sailing Club is a great example. We help marine industry companies right across Britain's southern coast in a variety of different ways; from health and safety risk assessments to full ISO certifcation, we do it all!

If you would like to speak to NPT Management Systems about how we can help your organisation, please call 02380 659 867 or email enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk today.
