Colebrook Bosson Saunders Takes Its Commitment To Quality To The Next Level

June 24, 2010 - This internationally recognised and independent standard demonstrates the company's strict adherence to quality control measures right across the business. 

Managing Director Martyn Colebrook commented, "We are very proud and excited to have achieved recognition for our commitment to quality ergonomic design. In working towards this award we have analysed every aspect of our operations and processes, and then put in place any improvements needed. We are especially delighted to have been awarded this accolade on our first attempt." 

One of the immediate outcomes for Colebrook Bosson Saunders was to implement a dedicated product development process, successfully combining three functions: product management, design and production engineering into one seamless process. In real terms this translates into a more cost effective and efficient process enabling the company to bring ergonomic products to market at lower cost and in less time. 

ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) 9001: 2008 is the latest version of the world's most widely used standard for quality management systems. Formalised quality assurance originally came from the Defence Industry's need for standards. Today ISO 9001 certification enables an organisation to qualify for a tender or to achieve preferred supplier status. One of the key reasons a company seeks ISO 9001 is to increase competitiveness and to secure new orders by demonstrating its capability and fitness for purpose. 

However, there are many more benefits as MD Martyn Colebrook goes on to explain, "Accreditation is a vigorous process and we know that this official stamp of approval shows our customers that we take a professional approach to quality management right across our organisation. The ISO 9001: 2008 certification is one of the ways in which Colebrook Bosson Saunders will gain even stronger competitive advantage. It has also helped us to introduce improvements in internal working and to improve morale and motivation within our company." 

There was an official presentation on April 16th 2010 where the BSI's Marcus Long presented Colebrook Bosson Saunders with their certificate. Marcus stressed the team effort that was involved in gaining ISO 9001 certification and commended all at Colebrook Bosson Saunders on their achievement.
