Recent Certification Successes

Supporting Manufacturing, Print & Packaging Businesses Across Staffordshire

Staffordshire has a strong manufacturing and industrial economy, with many packaging businesses supplying products into retail, construction, consumer goods, food and engineering supply chains. Customers increasingly expect suppliers to demonstrate robust product safety, quality and traceability controls through recognised standards such as BRCGS Packaging.

We regularly support organisations managing compliance requirements linked to factory standards, hygiene controls, supplier approval processes, traceability systems, foreign body prevention, product quality monitoring, internal auditing and corrective action management. We also support businesses looking to strengthen customer confidence and secure new opportunities through recognised certification.

Our approach focuses on building practical systems that support both certification success and operational efficiency. Rather than creating excessive paperwork, we help businesses implement manageable systems that improve compliance while remaining effective within busy production and manufacturing 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.
