Professional, friendly, and efficient from start to finish. They were very helpful and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I would happily recommend them.

The audit was well organised, I received clear instructions of the requirements in advance of audit, the consultant was friendly and put me at ease through out the audit.
I preferred completing the audit over teams rather than face to face as it seemed less pressured and I was given a good amount of time to submit my evidence to her by email. There were some diffiulties sharing large files, however she was patient with me during the process and audit was completed in a timely manner with a positive conclusion. Her service was very professional and I would recommend her services.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Simon Langston from Citation who assisted as through our ISO27001 and ISO9001. Simon was very calm and clear in his explanations and answered any questions I had with clear and relevant examples. We very much appreciate the diligence and care through the consultation period.

QMS provides professional ISO Certification Services. The process was conducted to a high standard and delivered clear value across planning and risk management activities.
Our auditor, Robert Crosby, demonstrated a strong understanding of both operational and compliance requirements, particularly within a technical/data centre environment. The approach was structured, pragmatic, and focused on areas of genuine risk.

Going through the set up work for ISO 20000-1 with Lynda French.
Lynda was helpful, very knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with. We were able to make rapid progress and look forward to full accreditation in the near future.

Highly recommend this company and especially Veronica for anyone going through ISO certification

Over the past two days, we underwent our ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 external audit conducted by Annya Poole, Lead Consultant. I can honestly say it was the best audit experience we’ve had to date. Annya was extremely pleasant to work with and provided clear, constructive feedback, particularly around areas where we can continue to improve.

Audited for ISO9001 and ISO14001 with Karen Knaggs over a day split into two sessions. Great experience with a very helpful approach from Karen. After a site move, it was never going to be the easiest audit but working with Karen was easy and the whole process flowed well.

We recently completed our ISO 9001 and 14001 re-certification audit with Citation, and the experience was extremely positive.
In particular, Jerry’s approach as auditor was excellent. He struck exactly the right balance between ensuring compliance with the standards and working practically with us to reflect how our business genuinely operates. Rather than a purely “tick-box” exercise, the audit process felt constructive and aligned with real-world delivery, which made it both efficient and valuable.
Jerry took the time to understand our systems and the nature of our projects, clearly explaining requirements where needed and helping us ensure that our documentation accurately represented our processes. This made what could otherwise be a demanding exercise relatively straightforward and well-structured.
From our side, having strong underlying systems and a clear operational approach allowed for a collaborative and professional audit process, which worked well alongside Jerry’s pragmatic and supportive style.
Overall, a very good experience — and a strong example of how the audit process can add real value when approached in the right way.

Anthony Price has been amazing and really helped us understand what's required. He did not make the audit feel like an audit.

We have recently completed three successful days of ISO assessments carried out by one of Citation’s assessors. Although Douro appeared extremely thorough, he was very approachable and provided valuable, professional feedback throughout the process.
The assessments ran smoothly, and we felt comfortable reaching out to Douro at any point during the assessment days whenever we had questions.

We had a very positive experience with our Auditor Simon Langston during our ISO 9001 audit. He was extremely easy to get on with and approached the audit in a friendly and professional manner, which helped put myself at ease from the very beginning. Simon made the entire process feel straightforward and manageable, clearly explaining requirements and guiding me through each stage. His approachable style, friendly manner and clear communication made a real difference to the overall experience. We would be delighted to have him again for our next review.
