ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 Certification – AES Controls

Industry: Engineering & Controls
Standards: ISO 9001 & ISO 14001

AES Controls sought support maintaining and improving their existing management system arrangements whilst preparing for external certification assessments. AlineX provided guidance on quality and environmental management system requirements, internal auditing and ongoing compliance activities.

Working alongside the management team, we reviewed existing arrangements, identified improvement opportunities and helped ensure the management system remained effective and audit-ready. Following successful certification assessments, AES Controls maintained certification and demonstrated continued commitment to quality and environmental performance.

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

Hi, I'm Rob and I founded AlineX to provide straightforward, practical ISO consultancy for businesses that want more than just a certificate on the wall.

Over the last decade I've worked within manufacturing, environmental leadership and management system roles before becoming a Lead Auditor and external Certification Auditor. This experience has allowed me to see management systems from every angle – from implementing them internally, auditing them externally and helping organisations improve them through consultancy.

At AlineX, I help organisations achieve ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification whilst ensuring the system actually benefits the business. Too often management systems become overcomplicated and disconnected from day-to-day operations. My aim is to keep things simple, effective and focused on delivering value.

Whether you're looking to achieve certification for the first time, improve an existing system or prepare for an external audit, I provide practical support tailored to your organisation.
