About

Qualified auditor in ISO14001, ISO9001, BES6001, CMS Standard & ISO20121 (Sustainable Events).
Instrumental in putting in several systems at two separate companies (Including 9k, 14k and 6k). Covered H&S for many years, auditing and maintaining ISO18001. Maintaining ISO3834 (In a previous life) and ISO1090 (In a previous life).

Played a pivotal role facilitating two systems, for two companies within the Hadley Group for BES6001 (Responsible Sourcing) achieved Excellent and Very Good ratings.

The journey with BSI has been a busy one, five certifications gained, maybe one or two more to come. it's all about being a valued member of the team for me and showing even though I'm in my fifties I have the drive and motivation to succeed.

Training to qualify in ISO14064 for greenhouse gas verification and PAS2060. This may continue through 2022/23 before I finally qualify, fingers crossed.

UK Scheme Manager for ISO20121 (Sustainable Events), I am very passionate about this scheme and will glady chat/help any companies interested in gaining certification.

May the journey continue.
