Our back story...

Our reputation was established in 1969 as a specialist in certification scheme management. In 1997, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry approved the use of the word 'British'​ in our corporate title in recognition of our pre-eminent status.

Today, we certify organisations to recognised standards as well as design and manage bespoke assessment schemes. Such schemes are based on the establishment of standards, which can be developed to be recognised company-wide, industry-wide, nationally or internationally.

Our brand is revered as a hallmark for quality. From Government agencies to SMEs, our clients depend on our services to measure, test and monitor the competence and performance of their people and processes.

We have undertaken projects and certification work with a large range of clients, including Public and Private sector, professional institutes, trade bodies and charities.

We are active in the area of setting national standards and are expert contributors to the influential British Standards Institute QS/1 and AUS/1 Committees. These committees are charged with the responsibility for representing the UK in new management and audit standards proposed to the International Standards Organisation (ISO).

Our performance is overseen by an independent Impartiality Committee. We recognise that providing good service requires a well trained and motivated team and we are proud to have been a recognised Investor in People since 1999.
