ISO 9001 assesses the efficiency and productivity of an organisation, and is a valuable certificate for a business to have as it demonstrates that quality systems are in place to ensure that a consistent level of service is provided to customers.
Audits are carried out by external certification bodies and it can take up to two years for a company to prepare for inspection.
The team at Fastsigns Sheffield, the signage, graphics and visual communication franchise, run by Paul Allison, were delighted to be told by the examiners, ISOQAR that they were a shining example of good practice.
Auditor David Wilcox of ISOQAR, said: “This company takes their Quality System very seriously and they are good at inter-communication, through daily and other regular staff meetings.
