Baker Trayte Marine Ltd

As regular visitors to our website will know, we at NPT Management Systems frequently work with clients in the UK marine industry. For example, back in March we told you about Baker Trayte Marine, a Hampshire-based company offering a variety of specialist marine services; we helped them to implement a robust quality management system (QMS) and pass their stage 1 ISO 9001 certification audit with zero non-conformances raised.

Well, our Principal Consultant Neil Peattie recently returned to the Baker Trayte office to assist with another audit that was being carried out by the company's certification body. This was Baker Trayte Marine's first audit since they achieved certification in March, and we're pleased to report that, once again, everything went smoothly and no non-conformances were raised.

Here's what Baker Trayte Marine's Quality Representative had to say after the audit had been completed:

"Neil assisted with our recent audit and it all went very smoothly. Neil's assistance since we first commenced on the ISO path has been invaluable; with his guidance, the process has been straightforward, and we would highly recommend his services. Thanks Neil - we couldn't have done it without you!"

We at NPT Management Systems have the knowledge and experience to help your company achieve ISO 9001 certification. We can also help you to maintain your QMS and keep it at a very high standard going forward, just as we did for Baker Trayte Marine.

NPT Management Systems are based in Southampton, and our quality consultants work with clients all over Hampshire and the surrounding counties. Call 02380 659 867 or email enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk to discuss your requirements.

Over the years, we at NPT Management Systems have worked with a wide range of businesses in an even wider range of industry sectors. Our speciality is helping organisations to achieve ISO 9001 certification, but even if you're not interested in acquiring this globally-recognised mark of quality, there are still a number of ways in which our experienced quality consultants may be able to help you.

Here are just a few examples of how our expert guidance could benefit your business:

  • No quality management system? Whether or not you wish to apply for ISO certification via a UKAS-accredited body, implementing a robust quality management system (QMS) will still have huge benefits for your organisation. Our expert quality consultants will help you to plan and implement a QMS that's perfectly tailored to your business, thereby improving your processes, boosting customer satisfaction, and minimising waste.

  • Already ISO 9001 certfied? Just because your existing QMS meets ISO 9001 requirements doesn't necessarily mean it can't be improved. Our quality consultants are able to carry out a full review of your current quality management system and help you to get more from it, e.g. by saving you money or replacing your QMS with a system that's better-suited to your specific niche.

  • Seeking ISO certification? As mentioned above, we have an outstanding track record when it comes to ISO 9001 certification. Time and again, we have shown that we can get our clients recommended for certification with zero non-conformances raised, so if your goal is to achieve ISO 9001 accreditation, we are the people to call.

Our quality consultants work with businesses across the South of England. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.

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

Conducting an internal quality audit can have real benefits for your organisation, but many business owners struggle to carry out a thorough, effective audit that delivers the desired results. Fortunately, you don't have to handle this potentially challenging task alone - here at NPT, we excel at conducting efficient, comprehensive quality audits and helping companies to improve their quality management processes.

Here are a few of the reasons why NPT Management Systems are the perfect choice for your internal quality audit:

  • We offer an independent view. It can sometimes be difficult to take an objective view of a business when you play a large role in that business and its processes. We can offer an experienced, independent assessment of your business and give you knowledgeable advice on how to improve it.

  • We keep you on schedule. When you're busy helping customers and running your business, an internal quality audit can sometimes fall by the wayside. NPT Management Systems will ensure that your audit stays on track and reaches completion within the designated period.

  • We offer a comprehensive service. We can help you to plan and conduct your internal audit; we can also design and implement a robust QMS (Quality Management System) that will allow your company to achieve ISO 9001 certification.
