TESTIMONIALS

What our clients say

Really efficient – project completed in less than one month. Listened and understood all our processes. We were expecting to have ISO processes mandated on to us, but All About Quality did a great job of integrating our existing processes into ISO. Reviewing processes also enabled efficiency improvements, especially for front end Customer management process. Would definitely recommend.

Jason Thorpe - Director Contact Cables Ltd

All About Quality was a vital part of our ISO9001 certification, without All About Quality we would not have achieved it. ISO9001 is the driver for Hollowells moving forward with business improvements, All About Quality’s methodical approach to understanding current business practices, and identifying areas for improvement proved invaluable. Hollowells is a family business, the funeral industry is unique and is foreign (as well as a little bit scary) to many people. All About Quality were able to apply their skills objectively and sensitively to achieve the desired results, even where initially there was a certain amount of resistance.

Jon Farmer - Hollowells Funeral Directors

All About Quality rescued my belief in the ISO 9001 standard, changing our old manual from a QMS supplier from being a huge boring doorstop into a tailored document that reflected our company and its style perfectly and along with their support in auditing us regularly has stood us in good stead when we changed over to BSI auditing and helped us maintain our status over a 3 year cycle of visits with only an odd minor nonconformity from each BSI audit , thoroughly recommend All About Quality’s work.

Colin Todd - Director MMV Contracting Ltd

All About Quality’s approach to ISO is so refreshingly different and ‘unstuffy’. All About Quality genuinely care about building management systems that are useful rather than just tick boxes and makes the process pretty painless as a result. Really glad that All About Quality was recommended to us. If you’re going for ISO certification, for whatever reason, choose All About Quality. You’ll get value for money and a consultant who’s rooting for your business to succeed.

Marvee-Lisa Booker - Commercial Director Postworks

All About Quality is an excellent consultant offering expert advice while remaining pragmatic and understanding of evolving business needs. All About Quality takes a much welcomed simple approach to Quality and creates unbureaucratic and focused systems.

Nicola O’Brien - Director ID Card Centre

We first engaged with All About Quality in 2017 when we transitioned to ISO-9001 2015. All About Quality made the process for us very easy and was very professional, courteous, and capable. Since then All About Quality has been retained as our Internal auditor. It is a pleasure to work with All About Quality and I have no hesitation in recommending this to other companies.

Paul Galgey - AA Euro Group

All About Quality really knows their stuff. Great patience and knowledge for small business owners and very interactive with clients. Entertaining and knowledgeable, a great combo. I can thoroughly recommend All About Quality.

Tim Belfall - Westend Wifi

All About Quality has been a client of mine for quite some time on various projects from rebranding to designing & development of new website. Working with All About Quality is always a pleasure. All About Quality is positive with the most beautiful energy and just lovely people in general. I would recommend All About Quality and look forward to working with them again in the future 🙂

Lita Graham

All About Quality’s enthusiasm and knowledge are second to none. All About Quality have a very disarming approach and put everyone at ease. The process for ISO certification can seem daunting at first look but with All About Quality expertise it was a breeze. We can’t recommend All About Quality highly enough. We will definitely be working with them again on our next ISO certificate.

David Booker - DLB Investigations Ltd

All About Quality first helped us in quality and environmental management with the implementation of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 within a manufacturing company. All About Quality took two wordy manuals and turned them into something accessible and visually appealing.  Simplified our internal auditing and management review processes, helped with training, and was instrumental in the creation of a living management system. All About Quality communication and presentation skills are brilliant and I would always recommend their services. Latterly I have been privileged to work alongside All About Quality as a fellow QHSE consultant. I value All About Quality’s professionalism and honesty and All About Quality has worked hard to establish an excellent client base. All About Quality brings continual improvement to our own way of working; All About Quality has a lot to offer in experience and knowledge within management systems, and with a background within industry, well beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you certify me?

No. And if any consultancy said they can certify you then RUN! Your consultancy would just be marking their own homework if they certified you so pretty valueless. It also means they are not offering UKAS accredited certification as UKAS require consultants and certification bodies to be different entities. So RUN and work with a consultant who helps you find a suitable UKAS accredited certification body like BSI, PQAL or Approachable Certification.

How much does ISO certification cost?
There are two main costs. The first is how much it costs to hire a consultant, if you need one. Second is the cost of the external certification body. It really depends on how many employees you have, how many sites you work from and how high risk your company is. Those kinds of practical things will determine a baseline for cost. We work mainly with micro-businesses and SMEs. Our basic cost for the smallest and simplest of companies to help you get ready for ISO9001 is £2430 + VAT. We are happy to spread this over 6 monthly Direct Debit payments which works out at £405 plus VAT. The external certification body will quote you separately and you pay them directly. Budget roughly £2000 to get your certification in year 1 and £1000 a year ongoing costs for surveillance visits.
Do we need to change the way we do things around here?
You might do. or you might not. We have one company that still works on paper and pen. Their system is ISO9001 compliant and works fine. However a majority of businesses do have to change or adapt new processes to become certified. So yes – change is likely to happen when becoming ISO9001, ISO14001 or ISO27001 certified.
Why do I still need you after I have been certified?
You don’t. If you have someone internally who can take over then that is great. Often though, SME and Micro businesses like having us to come in and carry out internal audits on their behalf once or twice a year as a minimum. We are independant and can help cast an external eye over what is happening and give guidance on best practice. Others like having monthly or quarterly accountability meetings to help keep them on track with what you need to be doing to stay certified. Some also like the fact we sit online with the external auditors or onsite and facilitate the days so they can be getting on with their day to day job and not have to worry about it. So, it is up to you if you would like to sign up for one of our retainer packages which start from £100 a month.
Can you do it for me?
No. It is your company. Your products, your processes, your team. We can give guidance, give templates, help write documents, train your team, carry out internal audits and hold your hand during external audits. But ultimately it really is down to you. The external auditors are auditing you,and not our fantastic documentation afterall. I can guarantee you will pass the first audit as all about documentation. I can NEVER ever guarantee you will pass a stage 2 or surveillance audit as that is down to you and your team doing what you say you do.
How quickly can I get ISO certified?
Minimum time is 6 month from the start of the project to getting through the Stage 2 audit which is the final hurdle. Your actual certificate will then arrive once it has been reviewed by the external auditors compliance team. If anyone says they can get you a certificate in a day or week or month then they probably are not UKAS certified. UKAS certified bodies tend to require evidence that you have actually implemented and do what you say you have done in your documentation and will audit it to prove that. So, you need time to fill in all the gaps that will be required to become ISO9001 or ISO14001 certified. If you need to become ISO27001 certified you need to leave at least 6 months , but more likely will be 9 months to a year depending on the size and complexity of your business.
Will my staff start doing things right if I put this in place?
We are not miracle workers. We can help set you up with the right tools, the right documents, the training, the right systems. We cannot however, make people do what they do not want to do. That is your job as the CEO, Director, or MD, of the company to sort out. Get a decent HR consultant or Leadership trainer who are specialised in helping you deal with those kinds of issues legally, culturally and individually.
