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.

If you would like to save time and money, please contact us now to find out more about our one-stop certification shop.

Regardless of whether or not you've achieved ISO certification in the past, hiring an experienced quality consultant can have real benefits for your business. Read on to find out more, or contact NPT Management Systems now to discuss your requirements with Principal Consultant Neil Peattie.

If you've never hired a quality consultant before...

If you're new to the world of quality management and ISO certification, it's well worth hiring a professional consultant to guide you through the process and ensure that everything goes smoothly. A good consultant will:

• Get to know your business rather than recommending an off-the-shelf solution
• Help you to implement your QMS (Quality Management System) throughout the entire company
• Assist with applying for ISO certification from a UKAS-accredited body
• Ensure that your QMS is efficient and future-proof

If you're already ISO certified...

Even if your business has already achieved ISO certification, there may well be a room for improvement. Bringing in a consultant to review your current quality management system can help you to:

• Save money by reducing the costs of compliance and certification going forward
• Add additional standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 27001
• Assess the quality of any consultancy services you have received previously
• Reduce waste within your management system

If you would like NPT Management Systems to help with your company's quality management processes, please give us a call on 02380 659 867 today.

Neil Peattie, our Principal Consultant, attended a two-day ISO 9001:2015 auditor transition course this week. This IRCA-certified course was designed to bring qualified ISO 9001 consultants up to speed with the latest revision of the global standard, and it culminated in a written examination, which we're pleased to announce that Neil passed with flying colours!

All of which is just another example of our commitment to training and advancement here at NPT Management Systems. We know that our industry is always changing, and we make it a priority to ensure that our knowledge and skills are totally up-to-date at all times. As you may be aware, ISO 9001 is just one of our many specialist areas; we also help businesses to implement ISO 14001-compliant environmental management systems, ISO 27001-compliant information security management systems, continual improvement programmes, and so on. In order to provide each of these services, our consultants are required to be aware of the latest developments and in possession of any relevant qualifications.

This is a big part of makes NPT Management Systems stand out from the competition. When you look for a consultant, it's important to check their professional qualifications - many consultants in our industry have few or no qualifications with any relevance to ISO 9001:2008 or ISO 9001:2015 auditing at all. We at NPT, on the other hand, are fully qualified to design and implement a wide variety of high-quality management systems.

Furthermore, we are exceptionally quick to familiarise ourselves with new areas of expertise as soon as they arise; for example, Neil is actually one of the very first people to have passed the aforementioned ISO 9001:2015 course, a fact of which we’re rightly proud!
