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

Hi, I'm Rob, founder and lead consultant at AlineX.

My career has taken me through manufacturing, operational management, environmental leadership and external certification auditing, providing me with over 10 years of experience helping businesses improve performance, manage risk and achieve compliance.

As a former Certification Auditor, I've audited organisations across a wide range of industries against internationally recognised standards including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. That experience means I understand exactly what certification bodies look for during audits and how businesses can prepare effectively.

At AlineX, my goal is not simply to help organisations pass audits. I work with businesses to create management systems that support operational excellence, improve efficiency and provide long-term value. Every organisation is different, which is why I take a practical, tailored approach rather than relying on generic templates and paperwork.
