Supporting Manufacturing, Print & Industrial Packaging Businesses Across Derbyshire

Derbyshire has a strong manufacturing and industrial heritage, with many businesses producing packaging materials, printed products and industrial components for demanding UK and international supply chains. Customers increasingly expect suppliers to demonstrate robust product safety, quality and traceability arrangements through recognised standards such as BRCGS Packaging.

We regularly support organisations managing compliance requirements linked to factory standards, hygiene controls, traceability systems, foreign body prevention, supplier approval processes, product quality monitoring, internal auditing and corrective action management. Our approach focuses on building practical systems that support both certification success and day-to-day operational control.

Rob Westwood, ISO consultant and founder of AlineX, providing expert support for ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certification

Hi, I'm Rob, founder of AlineX.

With over 10 years' experience across manufacturing, environmental management, quality systems and Health & Safety, I help businesses implement practical management systems that deliver real results. Before establishing AlineX, I held operational and leadership roles within industry before moving into third-party certification auditing, giving me a unique perspective on what works in the real world and what certification bodies actually expect to see.

Today, I support organisations across the UK with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 implementation, internal auditing, gap analysis and ongoing compliance support. Having worked as both a consultant and Certification Auditor, I've sat on both sides of the audit table and understand the challenges businesses face when trying to balance compliance with day-to-day operations.

My focus has never been on creating unnecessary paperwork. Instead, I work with businesses to build management systems that improve performance, reduce risk and support long-term growth whilst remaining practical and easy to maintain.
