Recent Certification Successes

Supporting Food Packaging, Agricultural Supply Chains & Manufacturing Businesses Across Herefordshire

Herefordshire has a strong food production and agricultural sector, with many packaging businesses supplying products into food processing, agricultural and consumer goods supply chains. Businesses operating within these sectors are increasingly required to demonstrate robust product safety, hygiene, traceability and quality controls through recognised standards such as BRCGS Packaging.

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

Rather than creating excessive paperwork, we help businesses implement manageable systems that improve compliance while remaining effective within busy manufacturing and packaging environments.

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

Hi, I'm Rob.

I founded AlineX after spending years working within industry and later as an external Certification Auditor. Throughout my career I've seen first-hand the difference that well-implemented management systems can make to organisations, but I've also seen how unnecessarily complex they can become when they're designed purely to achieve certification.

That's why AlineX focuses on practical solutions. I help organisations implement ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems that not only satisfy certification requirements but also support business objectives, reduce risk and improve performance.

With experience across manufacturing, quality, environmental management and Health & Safety, I understand the realities businesses face and the pressures managers operate under. My consultancy approach is built around making compliance straightforward, achievable and beneficial to the organisation.

You can learn more about my background, qualifications and experience on the About AlineX page.
