What our clients are saying...
Greenacre Environmental Systems Ltd
Greenacre Environmental Systems Ltd is a well-established ventilation engineering company, and we decided that achieving certifications to ISO9001, ISO14001 and OHSAS18001 was fundamental part of our strategic plan to achieve business growth, given the credibility such certifications bestow. We had no experience of how to go about this ourselves, and appointed Alpha Swanson in April 2016 following a recommendation made by 4D Collaborative Consulting Ltd.
Alpha Swanson approached the project from the perspective of building an IMS that reflected and supported the business, rather than tie it up in bureaucracy. They then provided us with internal auditing and management review support, and finally attended the certification audit, which was successful. In addition to this, they cheerfully provided us with a number of additional, gratis items, including provision of competent Health and Safety support, assistance to evaluate and appoint a UKAS accredited certification body and a number of mechanisms that assisted us implement the IMS, including a third-party evaluation tool. Such has been the quality of the service provided, that we have readily decided to re-appoint them to support us with our ongoing QESH needs, and continue to build on our already strong relationship.
I am thus very happy to recommend Alpha Swanson’s services.
Vaughan Hobson – Managing Director
Stainless Band Limited
We were looking for a consultant to support us during our transition from ISO 9001:2008 & ISO 14001:2004 to ISO 9001:2015/ISO 14001:2015. During my research I bumped into someone who recommended Alpha Swanson to us.And that’s when I found them and thank God for that or else we would have struggled getting the result we did eventually.
Jon and Clive are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are both extremely nice, will go out of their way to help and have incredible knowledge in the domain. They would go an extra mile to ensure successful completion of the project and get the desired result.
And well, getting certification to ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 was a smooth ride with all the support and guidance we received from them.
We would definitely love to work with them again, if there is a chance..
Absolutely satisfied with the service we received from them as our ISO Consultants.
Honey Sawhney – Quality Manager
Sinewave Energy Solutions
We decided our company would benefit from gaining various ISO certifications, but being a relatively new company with no experience of this we knew there would be a lot of work to do and that we required the services of an external consultant. We were provided with a list of companies by the certification body we were using, and Alpha Swanson were the only company who offered to visit our premises and talk us through the process and the services they could offer.
They were committed and professional at all times, whilst remaining kind and helpful, and took our company from knowing nothing about the process to understanding the standards, how a management system works etc. We felt we could contact them to ask them anything at any time, often in the form of a video conference-call which we found more helpful than a phone call or email. We feel they spent time getting to understand how our company works and built our management system to reflect this; indeed at the certification audit, the auditors commented on the merit of the system we had in place, and this was down to Alpha Swanson’s approach and expertise.
The cost was highly competitive to start with, but with all the extra support given throughout the project this became very good value. Alpha Swanson are an extremely helpful and dedicated company who take you through a rigorous process calmly and offer support at every step of the way.
We now have UKAS accredited certifications to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007, and are looking to continue our association in other areas of the business.
Adam Woodley – Managing Director
Dalec UK
Alpha Swanson has worked with us over the past year to improve our Health & Safety arrangements, with the ultimate goal of achieving CHAS Accreditation, which we have now successfully obtained. Jon has taken the time to fully understand our business, and has worked with several members of staff to develop a relevant and workable safety management system, which will help our business improve and access more business opportunities. We have been delighted with Alpha Swanson’s services and ethos, and are looking forwards to a long and valuable relationship with them. We are thus more than happy to recommend their services to others.
Dale Watson – Managing Director
Business Modelling Associates
We appointed Alpha Swanson Ltd in February 2015 to assist us build an Integrated Management System, which would allow us to achieve certifications to ISO9001 and ISO14001, which are integral to our growth plans. I had worked with Jon and Clive in a previous role, so I knew they were both capable individuals, and we have been very pleased with the manner that their recently formed company has handled our project. Alpha Swanson has worked closely with us and produced a documented system that both reflects our needs as a business, as well as meeting the needs of the two standards. Alpha Swanson provided excellent support in all areas including arranging the performance of the internal audit, delivering awareness training, assisting us through the management review process and providing guidance with regards to the appointment of a certification body. For a small, new company such as ourselves, this level of flexible support is critical to successful certification. Alpha-Swanson continued to work closely with us as we approach the certification audit, and has provided our management representative with the skills needed to maintain the system going forwards.
We are thus delighted to recommend Alpha Swanson’s services to anyone requiring competent assistance in any aspect of management systems and ISO9001 / ISO14001 certification.
Mark Penny – Chief Operating Officer
Dax Air Limited
We initially contacted Alpha Swanson for assistance sharpening up our internal procedures with the aim of achieving CHAS accreditation. Throughout the process I found Clive and Jon excellent to deal with and as a result we flew through the CHAS process with minimal hassle to myself. Their knowledge on H&S legislation is vast and their experience in the field allows them to temper the legislation with common sense to achieve a safe working standard that works in the real world. As a result of this we decided to further employ Alpha Swanson to advise and completely rewrite our safety manual above and beyond the needs for CHAS and the feedback we are getting from both our site engineers and customers on our new procedures is very positive.

Morrisons Utility Services
I can confirm on behalf of Morrison Utility Services that it has been a pleasure working with both Clive and Jon of Alpha Swanson Ltd on several occasions and have always found them to be both knowledgeable and professional in their approach. Most recently Morrison Utility Services has worked with Alpha Swanson to develop and deliver a series of workshops for our operational teams. This consisted of a bespoke training package which was designed to take our current performance in that field to the next level.
I can confirm that Morrison Utility Services will continue to use Alpha Swanson in the future and would be happy to recommend their services.
