CLIENT FEEDBACK
We required our SIA Licence as this is a security industry recognised scheme. We decided we would like to implement ISO 9001 as we have previous experience in working with this standard, a lot of our clients have this certification and it is well respected certificate to have.
We contacted Synergos Consultancy as they were recommended to us by the certification body which we made initial enquires with. After speaking to the consultant from Synergos we were confident that they would be able to assist with our requirements.
Synergos submitted a proposal and we were happy with works that were proposed, we appointed Synergos and can advise that we were very happy with the service provided by them, the standard of work was good, and the consultants always kept us well informed with the progress of works. The consultant who worked with us attended our premises punctually and we did not need to attend their offices at any time. They worked full days and the project was executed in the expected timescale.
We are very happy to have gained our ISO 9001 certification and recommend Synergos Consultancy to anybody who would like a consultancy company to help them achieve awards and certifications.
We are now using Synergos Consultancy to assist with maintaining the implemented quality management system.
SUPPORT PLAN
We always seek to support clients following the completion of a contract whether that be in the form of a full maintenance package, to carry out all works necessary in maintaining the company’s management system, carry out internal audits on behalf of the client or simply attending the company’s annual surveillance visits.
Since gaining their ISO 9001:2015 certification we continue to work with Crown Management Services Limited in respect of developing their Quality Management; an internal audit is scheduled, and Synergos Consultancy will chair the next management review along with attending the company’s annual surveillance visits.
