Certified ISO 9001 quality management system – upgraded accreditation

When our business was just a fledgling, we took the decision to become ISO 9001 accredited to underpin our values as business owners and to enable a positive, process-driven way of working that would benefit both us as a business and our clients. To our delight, we successfully became ISO 9001:2008 accredited in March 2016.

We are even more delighted to announce the renewal of that accreditation at the higher 2015 Standard.

The new ISO 9001:2015 aims to increase the drive for continuous and systematic improvement of processes within organisations. As part of this upgrade we have moved from having a quality manual on the shelf to quality processes, which fit very well with the fast moving nature of landscape services.

We have found the accreditation process extremely positive because:

  • The system itself is checked regularly by an independent party, reflecting the importance we attach to quality within the organisation.
  • Having the system as an integral part of the business helps us to achieve a higher operating efficiency.
  • The system increases the quality of services provided to our clients.
  • The system ensures clear processes and (communication) structures, tasks and responsibilities throughout RTM Landscapes, improving the working atmosphere and reducing the pressure of work for our team.
  • We can detect and identify problems in good time, which means that we can quickly take steps to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
  • The system helps us to make it clear that customer satisfaction is at the core of our business.
  • Those clients who need their suppliers to work in accordance with a certified ISO 9001 quality management system can be confident we have the system in place.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about the system.
