Gabriel Naughton General Manager Cloudy Lemon Studio http://www.kpw.ie/

KPW Design and Print have used BQAI as our external certification company, since 2012, to provide certification services across our quality, information security and environmental management systems.
I can say without hesitation that Declan and his team are the most professional and supportive accreditation company that I have had the experience of dealing with in the last 20 years.
Their approach to auditing is refreshing and their extensive business experience means that their observations and recommendations for improvement are sensible, practical and implementable.
Declan and his team are extremely personable and have established very good working relationships with the team in KPW. We are more than happy to continue our relationship with BQAI into the future.

In 2008, due to new European standards for whole vehicle type approval becoming compulsory in our industry, we were obliged to review all our systems, codify them, and subject our processes to independent verification that Dennison Trailers systems were at a level certifiable to an appropriate international standard.
Having sought recommendations from other companies that had achieved ISO certification, BQAI were recommended to us as an appropriate assessment and registration partner to obtain ISO Certification.  In addition a determining factor, as we trade internationally, was that BQAI were accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) which gave them worldwide standing.
Our experience with the assessment team from BQAI has been excellent.  We get a fair but thorough assessment annually, with a complete reassessment every three years. The observations for improvement in our processes are focused and appropriate to enhancing our systems and ultimately our reputation.
I would highly recommend BQAI as your assessment partner in attaining both national and international standards.

Many companies speak of partnership but BQAI are one of a few companies that understand what a real partnership is, by working with you, getting to know your business, giving direction through questioning techniques based on solid business principles and providing oversight commentary on your business model and strategic direction.
Having a trusted partner with you on any journey has many benefits as they can support you and see your improvements both incrementally and over time. They provide encouragement and support, building confidence within you that the end result is well worth the initial effort.
BQAI have been our partners in the ISO certification journey for the past four years. As with most SME’s going for ISO certification initially is a daunting experience but BQAI provided a level of support and understanding that simplified the overall process for us and helped us “Eat the Elephant” one bite at a time.
BQAI worked with us to help us understand that certification is not just a badge of honour but if deployed correctly are the business principles that will deliver real performance and growth. We have matured significantly under the tutelage of BQAI where the usual weeks of frenzy before an audit has been replaced with a structured programme of continuous improvement programmes. I would advise anyone setting out on this journey or who find working with their current partner arduous to contact BQAI and begin the experience.
