After a poor service from another Certification Body, working with Approachable is a breath of fresh air! Polite, friendly and diligent staff. Haven’t come across anyone at Approachable who isn’t all of those things. Our auditor has exceptional knowledge and takes the time to explain anything I’m unsure of and will also take the time to explain things in a way that I can understand. He’s really professional but at the same time he’s still friendly and dare I play on the word, he’s really approachable.

The communication with the office bother verbally or written is excellent. We look forward to continue working with Approachable Certification in the future.

Achieving ISO 27001 certification on our first certification audit, with zero non-conformities raised, was a significant achievement for our business. Approachable Certification played an important role in making that experience a positive one, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations seeking certification. Our overall experience of working with Approachable Certification has been excellent from start to finish. The certification process was well organised, professional, and delivered in a way that felt collaborative rather than intimidating. Approachable Certification struck the perfect balance between maintaining the integrity of the audit process while also being supportive and constructive throughout. What you do particularly well is provide clear communication, practical guidance during the audit process, and a genuinely approachable service that lives up to your name. The audit was thorough and detailed, yet conducted in a way that encouraged discussion and learning rather than simply compliance checking. At this stage, it is difficult to identify any areas for improvement. The entire experience was positive and exceeded our expectations. The professionalism and responsiveness of the office team gave us confidence that we were working with an organisation that genuinely values customer service and client experience.
Fusion eCare Solutions Ltd
My overall experience working with Approachable Certification has been extremely positive. They have always been helpful, professional, and easy to communicate with, which makes the certification journey feel far less overwhelming and much more collaborative. Communication is consistent and clear, and it’s obvious that there’s a genuine focus on supporting clients and helping them achieve the right outcomes, rather than simply carrying out an audit. One of the things you do especially well is balancing professionalism with a friendly and supportive approach. The advice and guidance provided throughout the process are practical, straightforward, and easy to follow, which is particularly valuable for organisations that may be less familiar with certification requirements.
AFP Construction
Throughout the transfer from our previous Certification Body to you, you have always been ‘approachable’ – It’s very refreshing! The knowledge, and its application, and the proffesionalism of the audit was excellent. However, it was their attitude that stands out as their technique is very much aligned with my thinking – Look for compliance, if it can’t be found then there’s a non-complinace. This is much more effective, and encourages a healthy relationship, than seeking non-compliance.
Denchi Group Ltd
Working with our Auditor for the last couple of years has been an excellent experience for an ISO 9001 audit. The auditor is easy going, approachable, knowledgeable and most of all supportive. They strike a great balance between being professional and approachable – which from my perspective makes the whole certification journey far less stressful than it has been with other bodies. His guidance is clear and he sets out the expectations in a transparent manner. The whole process feels like it is an ”improvement” path rather than an audit. To add to that all communication and emails is turned around in a timely manner and they are handled with clarity.
MB Technology
I had dealings with Becky Maxwell. She was most efficient, communicated well and she was able to fast track processing our latest certificate. I am very impressed. It was all dealt with expeditiously.

Our auditor was a pleasure to work with. He was helpful in his explanation of requirements and I felt he took a holistic view of the company and what we needed to achieve from ISO9001 rather than someone who just completed tick boxes as an exercise. We are very happy to look to the future with the support of our QMS to continue to improve our business.

Cameo Computer Service UK
From the initial introduction detailing the audit breakdown we felt confident that we had chosen the right company to provide audit and certification to ISO standards.  For my client, the focus was not just to gain certification but more importantly to integrate, develop and improve the current management systems allowing growth to support the expanding business.  Past audits (other accredited companies) have been without value, consistent pass without non-conformance prevented clear direction for improvement.  I found the auditors genuine and friendly, allowing a relaxed audit environment.  They were professional throughout and I speak for both my client and myself that we are delighted with Approachable Certification and the standard of service provided. 
SS Safety Ltd
From an external consultant’s perspective, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with Approachable Certification. The entire process from first engagement through to conclusion of certification has been first class. In particular, I wish to commend our auditor for her approach. She was extremely professional, clearly very knowledgeable and made the external audit experience something that was educational and enjoyable, not in anyway onerous. I cannot point to any obvious improvements for Approachable, I would just say maintain your processes and deliverables because they are the Gold Standard.
David Studd & Associates Limited
I would thoroughly recommend Approachable Certification. It has been excellent in all respects, from general communication to audit arrangements and requests for information.

Cameo Computer Service UK
From the initial introduction detailing the audit breakdown we felt confident that we had chosen the right company to provide audit and certification to ISO standards.  For my client, the focus was not just to gain certification but more importantly to integrate, develop and improve the current management systems allowing growth to support the expanding business.  Past audits (other accredited companies) have been without value, consistent pass without non-conformance prevented clear direction for improvement.  I found the auditors genuine and friendly, allowing a relaxed audit environment.  They were professional throughout and I speak for both my client and myself that we are delighted with Approachable Certification and the standard of service provided.
