Painless and Well-paced consultation

The consultation process with Simon to go through ISO 2700x was professional, friendly and accommodating. Calls were very lean and to-the-point, and I found the process very straight forward and manageable while carrying out the day-to-day responsibilities. A really good service.

Working with Peter on the ISO 4001 consultancy was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, Peter demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise, making what could have been a complex process feel straightforward and enjoyable.

Peter’s professionalism and approachable manner stood out. Peter was always ready to provide clear guidance, answer questions, and offer practical solutions that kept everything on track.

Thanks to Peter’s support, the entire experience was really positive. I would highly recommend!

Outstanding service from Monika

We had our annual audit with Monika Zak over the course of the last 2 days - the whole process was exceptional, from the flexibility of booking to the audit itself, and the follow up communications.
Monika was professional yet friendly throughout, clearly a very knowledgeable member of the team, she guided us through everything with a high level of both confidence and competence. Time keeping was exceptional too. With staff members like Monika, we could not recommend Citation more highly.

Our Audit for ISO 9001 was undertaken on behalf of ENE Services

Our Audit for ISO 9001 was undertaken by Caitlin Wevill.
She was very thorough in her approach but also sympathetic to the fact that it was new to us.
Although we understand our Industry well formulating the information in the Atlas platform needed navigation.
The whole process has been both enjoyable and rewarding.
Thank you.

ISO Certification Experience

I had the pleasure of working with Stephen Ripley during our recent audit. He was extremely professional and turned what could have been a stressful process into a clear, educational, and constructive experience. Stephen ensured we fully understood all processes and certification requirements, allowing us not only to strengthen our current framework but also to set clear milestones for our future improvements

A perfect fit

Right from the start of the consultation process, Simon Langston was a perfect fit for us. His knowledge of the processes was amazing and how he applied them to our real world situations was very helpful.
He took us through Atlas with a calm, logical approach and was really patient with us. Overall we found the experience to be thoroughly professional and the emphasis on how exactly the accreditation will benefit our business was very rewarding.

From start to finish, just great

From start to finish the process is slick and efficient. The booking team are professional and always check in advance that the audit, which was booked some time ago, is still suitable for diaries. We need a minor adjustment and this was accommodated.
The auditor, Conrad, is skilled at what he does and demonstrates great depth of knowledge. He has an easy manner which ensures the audit flows smoothly, with informative and helpful dialogue, guidance and as necessary advice. The recommended outcome of the audit was communicated clearly and this was followed up with a timely audit report.
Thanks to the whole team for the end-to-end support.
