A client wants your ISO certificate. The clock is already running.
A tender names ISO 9001. A main contractor asks for 45001 before they'll add you to the approved list. Now you've a standard to meet, a deadline that isn't yours, and a day job that doesn't pause while you sort it. We run the full journey, from the first conversation to your certificate and the surveillance visits after it. One named consultant, the whole way.
We hold the certifications we help you achieve.
The gap analysis isn't the job half done. It's the easy 20% done.
Most firms find a consultant who runs a gap analysis, hands over a report and a quote for the documents, then leaves. You're left to build the system, train your people, sit the audit and answer the certification body on your own. We work differently.
Your consultant writes the documents, processes and records the standard needs, shaped around how you actually operate. Not a binder of policies nobody opens.
The consultant who runs your gap analysis writes your system, sits beside you at the certification audit, and turns up for the surveillance visit a year later. He learns your business once and remembers it.
Spectra does not award it, and no reputable consultant can. It comes from an independent, UKAS-accredited body that audits you separately. Our job is to get you there prepared, and stand with you through it.
Pick the one a client is asking for, or talk to us if you're not sure.
Many clients run two or three together, most often 9001 and 45001, as one integrated system. That's usually cheaper to certify and far less work to maintain than three separate ones.
ISO support, from £100 a month.
Ongoing ISO management, priced by the standards you run, most often as one integrated system. ISO 9001 is the one to start with — it's the standard tenders ask for most, and the base the others build on. Prices exclude VAT. Prefer to buy certification as a one-off project instead? See Packages & Pricing.
Quality management, retained and kept current. Our most popular ISO service, and the one that opens the door to the others.
Quality and environmental management run as one integrated system.
All three standards run as a single integrated management system — quality, environmental and safety.
You get Gary. Not a team inbox, not whoever's free this week.
That's the difference between a consultancy and a transaction. We're not here to drop off a report and invoice you. We become the people you ring when a client asks for a standard you haven't got, when an auditor's coming, or when you're not sure whether a change to the business breaks something. The relationship is the product.
Your consultant is Gary.
The same person who runs your gap analysis writes your system, sits beside you at the certification audit, and turns up for the surveillance visits a year later.
“Certification should make the business run better, not just hang a badge on the wall. I build a system your people will actually use, then get you ready for the audit without turning your week upside down.”
