Supporting Packaging, Logistics & Distribution Supply Chains Across Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire is one of the UK's key logistics and distribution hubs, with many packaging manufacturers supplying products into food, retail, e-commerce and consumer goods supply chains. Businesses operating within these sectors are increasingly required to demonstrate robust product safety, traceability and quality controls through recognised standards such as BRCGS Packaging.

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

Rather than creating excessive paperwork, we help businesses implement manageable systems that improve compliance while remaining effective within fast-paced 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, founder of AlineX.

I help organisations across the UK achieve and maintain ISO certification through practical consultancy, auditing and management system support. With more than 10 years of experience spanning manufacturing, environmental leadership, quality management and third-party certification auditing, I bring both operational and auditing experience to every project.

Having worked as a Certification Auditor, I've seen hundreds of management systems and understand what separates effective systems from those that simply exist to pass an audit. My approach focuses on building systems that are practical, proportionate and capable of delivering genuine business benefits.

Whether you're pursuing ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or ISO 45001 certification, my aim is to help you create a management system that supports continual improvement, strengthens compliance and adds value to your organisation long after certification has been achieved.

For more information about AlineX, my experience and how I can support your organisation, visit the About page.
