Foremost Security Ltd
We were first introduced to Ann more than two years ago. At the time we were looking for someone help to “patch up” our Quality System as we’d had staff changes, we were growing and nobody was able to find the time (or had the real experience) to grasp hold of the processes.
Since that time, she has been integral to ensuring we have successfully negotiated our way through 2 quality system audits, with another looming into view soon. Getting through and improving audit scores are essential to our business success, but this is not just a point scoring exercise. The result has been that we are much more professional in our approach to business and have been able to modify aspects of our business to change as we expand our operations.

Director Adshead Ratcliffe and Co Ltd
“We have worked with Ann at AH Integral Systems for a couple of years now. Although we obtained ISO14001 in late 2012, finding the time, commitment & obtaining the knowledge to ensure continuing compliance, reducing risk & sorting out environmental improvements was a difficult task for an organisation that was expanding its sales but not its workforce.
Using Ann as an external consultant has been invaluable, as she brings a fresh set of eyes & new ideas to the company, giving us further forward momentum for the business. In the current climate we cannot afford to pay someone either full or part time for 14001 tasks but with Ann’s help we ensure our audit schedules are met & are given increased focus for our continuing compliance.
I would recommend Ann for anyone who is either considering going for
14001 or already has it. Her experience of 14001 is incredibly useful,
so she is well worth a call to see how she can help your business.”
