An effective quality system is essential in today’s business environment, to ensure the product consistency and compliance without which your market will vanish.

What is your challenge?

• You have an audit coming up 
• It’s time to review your system against the requirements of the standard
• The latest test results are higher than normal – still within specification, but you’d like to know what has changed
• Your company is a small operator and wants to be sure that they are producing safe food but can’t afford to be accredited to an International Quality Standard

Graeme Milne

I was employed by Bay Milk Products from 1987 until 1997 in various management roles including as CEO from 1992 until 1997.
During this time I knew Carol Cullen as a very valuable employee. Carol led the development of much of our quality assurance programmes under the ISO9000 system and was a trained and proficient auditor under that system.
I am very willing to vouch for Carol's auditing skills in general manufacturing and food safety critical environments and happy to be contacted directly by any company considering contracting Carol's capabilities.      Regards, Graeme Milne.
