November 2007
We at Granger's Consultancy Services have recently sent a letter to all our Clients allying their fears over the impending 2008 change to the BS EN ISO9001, this was in response to numerous questions received from our Clients. The depth of change is minor and does not mirror the degree of change required when the 2000 standard was published. We anticipate that changes will be of a minor nature for our own Clients, negating the need for special re-assessment visits.
We welcome Burnfoot, Forestry & Land as a new Client, whose aim it is to gain certification to BS EN ISO9001. They specialise as Tree Surgeons & are currently actively working in partnership to ensure the national railways remain clear of foliage & other forestry matter.
