With 16 years of experience in Business Management and an additional 12 years in an ISO compliance role, I developed a passion for the auditing world. In recent years, I have been conducting 3rd party certification audits across manufacturing, retail, and various other industries.
Meeting with new clients, I noticed a substantial gap between companies aspiring to comply with standards and their understanding of how to meet these requirements effectively.
In November 2021, I established Acquire Management Systems, dedicated to assisting businesses in obtaining ISO certification. I identified a pressing need for clear guidance on simplifying the compliance process.
With extensive knowledge of ISO standards and guidelines, I offer consultancy services as an experienced Auditor. My expertise encompasses support and guidance for Quality Management (ISO 9001), Environmental Management (ISO 14001), and Health & Safety Management (ISO 45001). Moreover, I assist companies in applying for SSIP certifications like Constructionline, CHAS, Safecontractor, and Ecovadis. My services range from conducting gap analyses and managing systems to implementing integrated systems, performing internal audits, and facilitating 3rd party audits.
I assist small startups and medium-sized businesses by providing support and guidance to help them attain their certification objectives.
