Every project is dealt with in a thoroughly professional manner and we ensure that no work commences until you are satisfied that:

  1. The programme meets your needs

  2. The programme is tailored to suit your circumstances

  3. The terms and conditions are clear and agreed by everyone

  4. The whole project is achievable


What Our Clients Are Saying

We've helped a lot of independent businesses with our services. Here's what they had to say:

Your help, input and expert advice has been invaluable in our Company achieving these awards particularly in view of our ambitious programme to achieving both accreditations simultaneously in just four months. We look forward to you continuing to steer and advise us in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending you to others who may wish to follow the same path.
I can confirm that P S Rowe Associates acted for SGB Services Limited in respect of gaining accreditation to ISO 14001: 2004 and that they designed and implemented the Environmental Management System. P S Rowe Associates also assisted with running the system, preparing for audits, and carried out the necessary staff training.

Kindest regards.
P.S. Rowe Associates provided a clear and concise framework for Cotherm to work within to achieve accreditation. I found the Project Programme well laid out and totally in tune with our requirements. P.S. Rowe Associates were always on hand to discuss the various issues encountered and were excellent in their management of the programme.

From our experience I would strongly recommend P S Rowe Associated to anyone considering undertaking ISO accreditation. What could have been a daunting task proved to be an enjoyable and rewarding project for all our staff and I am delighted to say Cotherm, as a company, are already reaping the benefits of this programme along with controlling our environmental impact.

Once again Paul, thank for all your help and encouragement; it was a pleasure to undertake the project with you.
We would like to thank you for all your input and guidance during this process, it was not as hard as I thought it was going to be, again thanks for everything.
Paul and I worked closely together for over a year while we implemented ISO9001 and 14001 in the manufacturing business where I was Technical Director. Paul planned, guided, implemented and mentored every stage of the process and every member of the team. Impressively knowledgeable on all aspects of quality and environmental management, he also has a crucial knack of differentiating between those times when a broad view is sufficient and when you really have to sweat the small stuff. Skill, experience, pragmatism and personality - you don’t often find all four in a consultant, little wonder he’s also effective.
 
 
Our initial focus was the attainment of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 accreditation, as a way of raising our company profile and securing more business. We engaged Paul as our consultant to help us achieve this aim. Developing and implementing an integrated management system within a mature business is not a simple task; however, Paul took the time to fully understand the way we work and helped us to develop a system that met all of the requirements of the standards, while, crucially, enabling us to continue doing things our way. There is certainly no “one size fits all” attitude from Paul. He is passionate about what he does and takes pride in helping his clients to improve their businesses. For us, the benefits of developing an integrated management system go way beyond our initial expectations: We are now more structured, more efficient and, as a result, more professional.

Paul is one of those people that you instantly take to. For me he strikes a perfect balance: During out time working together we have developed a good friendship but he always maintains the professional attitude required of an effective consultant. I cannot recommend Paul highly enough.
 
 
We originally met Paul, some 15 years ago, at time that we were considering gaining certification to ISO 9001 as this was a requirement of an important customer. We immediately found him to be easy to get along with and found the process to certification to be straightforward and not as daunting as we thought it might be. Paul explained each stage of the process clearly and managed much of the project himself, on our behalf. We were impressed by his in-depth knowledge of the standard and his grasp of our engineering processes. 

He introduced better document control almost immediately and we have found no reason to instigate many changes since that time. The work Paul did has enabled us to attract new business and we have enjoyed an ongoing professional relationship since that time during which he has acted as our informal quality manager and system auditor. 
On a personal front we have become friends, even attending his wedding, even though he drinks too much coffee whilst he is here, at enormous cost!
 
 
Paul is an extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable individual who has been a major contributor towards our ultimate goal of PAS 91 which we hope to achieve later this year. Paul has provided training, be-spoke documentation and systems to make this possible and in turn make Peak Contractors Ltd the company it is today.I have no hesitation in recommending Paul to any other potential client of his.
We’ve worked with Paul over a number years and he has helped us to achieve our ISO:9001 and ISO:14001 goals. We have always been extremely happy with his approach towards our organisation’s needs and our staff to get the right results. I would personally recommend him to anyone considering gaining their ISO certification and thanks again Paul. Best Wishes.

We have worked with Paul since the beginning of 2009. At this time we had a basic understanding of our Environmental aspects and impacts, and had wanted to gain accreditation to the ISO14001:2004 standard.  However, we found it difficult to gain the appropriate knowledge of just how to achieve our goal of accreditation. Paul’s extensive knowledge, coupled with his professional, friendly and honest approach enabled us to quickly implement our Environmental Management System and achieve accreditation in October 2009.  His ongoing support and advice has proved invaluable in ensuring that we continually improve our Environmental performance year on year.
