Niall has been working with me for almost 5 years. He is sharp, and he is very focused on creating value with Quality Management Systems, not just spinning wheels and billing clients. I trust him. If you hire him, he will do what needs to be done at a fair price, and when he’s done, you’ll be pleased that you hired him and not someone else. He’s been doing this for a long time, and is familiar with the pipeline industry.

By developing the concept that a Quality Management System is really a Business Management System, Niall was able to focus our attention on organizational weaknesses that we have now turned into strengths.

When we decided to pursue ISO 9001 registration for Adheco Ltd, we knew that it would require a significant investment of time to establish and maintain a viable system. We found that we simply did not have the resources or expertise to perform our own internal audits, so brought in Niall Gordon to help. We have now worked with Niall for several years, and his assistance and advice has been invaluable. As part of his auditing process, Niall takes the time to identify, and document many suggestions for Improvement, and it is through these suggestions that our quality system has evolved into a very useful and cost effective tool at Adheco. We are very pleased with Niall’s contribution, and practical approach, which help keep us focused on improving our processes and our results.

He is a natural when it comes to sitting with his clients, understanding their needs and then over achieving their expectations.

In terms of his training skills, I had the pleasure of taking one of his courses and I have to say he has the ability to take dry material and make it exciting. He is one of the best instructors I have ever had. If you want to gain a better understanding of the world of Quality and ISO, Niall is the man to assist you.

I have no hesitation recommending Niall Gordon. In my capacity as Director, Human Resources I was in charge of our company’s ISO 9001 QMS program and Niall had been hired to assist us in set-up, training and continuing maintenance of the program. Niall assisted in the preparation for our ISO audits and worked closely with our Customer Service, Warehouse and HR Department in ensuring the system was used as planned and that our Registrar Audits ran smoothly. Niall developed an auditor training program and trained our auditors. Niall was well liked and respected by both our Management and staff and was very instrumental in the success of our re-certification from the ISO 9001: 2000 standard to the 2008 version.

Dear Niall,

I can’t thank you enough for all the help you have given us over the last 12 months. With your help we have re-designed and streamlined our previous cumbersome Quality Management System and turned it into an effective tool that helps improve the management of our operations.

Your approach allowed us to achieve ISO certification while at the same time developing a system that has improved our daily operations. Your patience, focus and humour during consulting and training sessions helped immensely, and left us not only having achieved ISO certification but also left us with the motivation and tools to keep and improve it

Having worked with Niall over the last two years on multiple training sessions, I can say that the experience was very positive and informative. We specifically worked with him with the intent of gaining a greater understanding of the ISO 9001 standard and how it applied to our business and getting people trained on internal audits. He was always on time and well prepared, and has a vast background on QMS ideology and ISO which enabled him to answer all our questions and more! He is a very professional individual and provided us with all the material necessary for the courses. He was always willing to provide assistance with questions even after the course date, which was much appreciated. I would suggest contacting Niall for any Quality related topics and would not hesitate to use his services in the future.

Cleanwear Products has worked with Niall since 1993 when we made a decision to pursue ISO registration. Using a consultant to keep one on track and explain the intricacies of the applicable system is an important factor to ultimately being successful. In the beginning, ISO Registration seemed to be a daunting task for us all, but Niall made the process as simple as possible. He has the ability to work with all levels of the organization making everyone feel as though they own their part of the system. Niall’s knowledge of the ISO standards and how they can be made applicable to all organizations make him an invaluable resource for any Company considering implementing an ISO Quality Management System registration. I highly recommend Niall.
