Quality Management ISO 9001 Standard

What is ISO 9001 Quality Management?

ISO 9001 is the leading global ‘quality mark’ for businesses.

What is a Quality Management System?

Establishing optimal working practices in organisations, which can enhance profit as well as  customer satisfaction, doesn’t happen by accident. Today’s most successful organisations recognise the importance of having a proven quality management system in place.

• Adds value to your services
• Assurance of quality of service to the customer

  Friday saw my first official internal audit for IS 9001 and was carried out by Blackmores (UK) Ltd as part of preparation for certification. This audit was carried out for a full day, with breaks scheduled so that I could keep up with the support to my customers which is pretty full on at the moment, via MS Teams video link. I have to say it was fabulous and I really can't see why this method wouldn't continue past the end of the crisis. Rachel has been amazing so motivating and had a real belief in what we were doing I genuinely cannot praise her and the rest of you at Blackmores enough!
