We put dozens of firms through the wringer and came up with the 10 best consultant companies in the UK market today.
By All Things Being ISOs - July 1st, 2024
If you’ve landed on this page then you’re probably already at least familiar with what an ISO standard is. But if you’ve landed on this page, you’re also probably looking at the best and most cost-effective way to get the Management System for an ISO standard put in place.
In this list, we look only at consultants who offer the ‘big four’ management systems:
ISO 9001:2015 - quality management system (referred to as a QMS)
ISO 14001:2015 - environmental management system (referred to as an EMS)
ISO 45001:2018 - occupational health and safety management system (referred to as an OHSMS)
ISO 27001:2022 - information security management system (referred to as an ISMS)
Before we go any further, it's worth just looking at the relationship between ‘ISO Standards’ and putting in place a ‘Management System’ to meet the requirements of the standards. Standards themselves are described by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) organisation thus:
“Think of them as a formula that describes the best way of doing something.”
This is a really good description - each standard simply gives you a framework for a management system designed to cover a range of business activities which are the distilled wisdom of people with expertise in their subject matter and who know the needs of the organisations they represent - people such as manufacturers, sellers, buyers, customers, trade associations, users or regulators.
To take the standards we’re focusing on, the management systems used will get the following results:
Quality management standards set out a framework for a management system to help organisations work more efficiently and reduce product or service failures.
Environmental management standards set out a framework for a management system to help organisations reduce environmental impacts, reduce waste and be more sustainable.
Health and safety standards set out a framework for a management system to help organisations reduce accidents in the workplace.
IT security standards set out a framework for a management system to help organisations keep sensitive information secure.
It really is that simple - the standards provide the framework for you operate to (for example, the requirement to record and analyse errors, to gather customer feedback, to have management review meetings and what the agenda should consist of) but the actual management system you operate will be down to how you run your company. For example, there is no one way that you must gather customer feedback, that could vary from business to business. Just as long as you’re doing it, then you’re complying with the standard.
And, just for the eagle-eyed among you would would have noticed that International Organization for Standardization does not equate to ‘ISO’, then this is actually where the name of this news site originates. Because 'International Organization for Standardization’ would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French), it decided to give itself the short form ISO, which is derived from the Greek isos, meaning “equal”. So whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of the name is always ISO.
This is where our name comes from - all things being ISOs is about all things being 'isos', or equal. This goes to the heart of the whole concept of ISOs in that, as basic standards to be adhered to, they are all about making everything equal. This will never make it to being a pub quiz question, so I wouldn’t worry too much amount committing in you memory.
So with that out of the way, let’s look how we ranked the best ISO consultants in the UK in 2022.
ISO consultants: features and benefits explained
Before we start, it’s worth knowing a bit about how certification works. When you install a management system in your organisation, you will then want to get it certified. A Certification Body will audit you (i.e. they check that you, as an organisation, comply with the requirements of the standard or standards you are implementing). If you pass this audit then you will be awarded certification. If the Certification Body is accredited (in the UK this would usually be through UKAS), then you will be awarded accredited certification.
Some certification bodies specialise in certain industries, some have international reputations, and some are more competitively priced than others. There are around 100 certification bodies who are accredited by UKAS and it is up to your business who you ask to assess your ISO system. All certification bodies should do a similar job, however, as with anything, the type of service given can vary.
Now we mention this here because some Certification Bodies also offer consultancy services. You need to be wary here as this is a bit of a murky area - strictly, using UKAS rules, Certification Bodies are forbidden from delivering consultancy services. However, some get round this by offering consultancy and giving the actual work to a subcontractor. Other just offer a set of templated documents which they then audit themselves. We’ve deliberately left any Certification Bodies out of the list below.
So onward to the criteria!
Review criteria
Past clients: we'll take a look at what case studies and testimonials they can provide - what sort of services have they delivered in the past?

Giveaways: what are they giving you as a no-strings-attached tool or guide to help you on your ISO journey?
Pricing: how upfront are they will their pricing structure? Do they offer good value for money?
Accessibility: how easy are they to get hold of? Can you also access them through their social media channels?
Plain English: what is the tone of the website, do they make a good job of explaining things properly and straightforwardly?
Flexibility: are they strategic consultants, how useful will they be in delivering for you outside of the basic delivery of their services?
Overall pros and cons: how to they fair in the final shake-out - are they a go-er or is it best to look elsewhere?
The Top Ten
Here we count down the top 10, starting at Number One (the best) to Number Ten (the 10th best)...
At number 1 - The Ideas Distillery
The Compliance Companion from The Ideas Distillery is easily the best overall ISO consultancy that we looked at, in terms of the sheer amount of giveaways and information they presented as well as their focus on what they do, which is the four main standards.
There's a few things which are different about this company, such as the way they leverage AI technology, integrating with Office software, to tailor management systems through documentation packages with individual support on a 'fair usage' basis. They also run a community network (via a Mighty Networks platform) which offers instant expert advice, real-time updates, and extensive resources, including a vast document library, all aimed at fostering a supportive community.
Their site is well laid out with a good flow to the headings - 'Core ISO standards' gives information about what ISOs are, the 'Integrated ISO standards' section is all about how they fit together as (you guessed it) integrated management systems, 'Full Pricing Table' shows the full suite of products with benefits and pricing, and the 'About Us' sections boasts an impressive array of useful things such as a Cost Benefit Analysis, Gap Analysis, podcasts, blogs - among other things - and all for free!
Past clients: As well as some client testimonials on the home page, the site is liberally sprinkled with professionally-produced case study videos from a variety of companies in a variety of standards.
FAQs and Knowledge Base: Hands down the best we’ve seen, first a comprehensive FAQs section can be found early doors on the home page, then a Knowledge Base can be found halfway down the home page. Each area contains a whole host of resources such as explainer videos, infographics, briefings, guides and case studies. Very impressive.
Chat bot: We're not usually a fan of chat bots, but this one is pretty comprehensive and should give you all you need to know when deciding on a purchase. The difference is that, once you buy a system, you get 12 months free membership to the ISO Connect Hub community, which means you won't need a chat bot and will get your hand held for you.
Giveaways:
The only thing that outdoes the above are the high-quality giveaways on offer. The main one is a free ISO gap analysis for any of the four main standards (including 27001). We tested this one out and, yes, it’s a proper consultancy report covering each one of the clauses will a colourful score chart at the beginning. And yes, it was free. The other really impressive thing was a Cost Benefit Analysis Tool, which is a spreadsheet to help you decide what the costs of implementing ISO are compared to the benefits you would expect to get out of it, based on independent research. This is a great, honest tool which we’d really recommend you look at if you’re still on the fence about whether you should get your ISOs underway.
Pricing: What we like about their pricing is it’s one of the few which is as clear as it can be. You should consult the Full Pricing Table for what you're after, and the support is first-class. The prices are one-cost-for-all, so no faffing around with how big your company is, for example. If you go onto their Cost Benefit Analysis Tool you'll find that average Certification Body costs are also in the Tool, giving you a good overall picture of how much everything is going to cost you.
Accessibility: The company is now openly a remote consultancy (no doubt a hangover from the pandemic) and you can get hold of them easily through an email address and web form, all to be found on its contacts page, and the Chat Bot is available on every page which should give you any info you need. The company has a Facebook page, Twitter feed, LinkedIn page and YouTube channel, which are all updated daily and are full of useful bits and pieces such as the latest ISO news and interesting ISO tidbits.
Plain English: As mentioned earlier, the site is well set out on a type of ISO journey and there’s a good FAQs section which comprehensively addresses issues such as ‘Who does what to get you your certification?’, ‘How much will it cost?’, ‘The Certification Cycle’, etc.
Flexibility: The company covers all the four main standards and reinforces that they are a hands-on company that works directly with companies in a way that is specific to the company or organisation, so there is an in-built flexibility present.
Overall: Pros - if you’re thinking about getting ISO certification then you should pay them a visit just to grab their giveaways if nothing else. Cons - difficult to find any - maybe the blue coloured theme of their site could be a shade lighter? Actually, on second thoughts, it’s fine.
At number 2 - QSL
QSL have been around since 2000 and have their offices in Worcester. They offer the standard fare of the main ISO standards and are very much in the consultancy business, not getting mixed up in certification offerings.
Past clients: The company lists a range of past clients such as Offsite Servers Limited, Walpole Partnership Limited, Eckersley O’Callaghan and Auxilum Legal Limited. Some of these and others are presented as video case studies (e.g. Offsite Servers, Stanford Marsh, and Cypher Media).
Knowledge Hub: The company have a Resources page which offers access to some free webinars which you can watch on YouTube.
Giveaways: No giveaways or tools could be located.
Pricing: This is one of those companies where there’s no indication of pricing or typical prices, and there is an online form you can fill in where they will then give you a ring and get you a cost.
Accessibility: The company has an online chat box will also pop up regularly when you visit their website, and there is a 0330 number you can phone. A web form is available if that’s your preference. The company also has a regular presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube should you want to get in touch that way. The posts themselves are fairly sporadic and more about the company itself rather than being related to ISO standards.
Plain English: The company’s home page ‘bigs up’ the company without giving too much information of what you - the company - needs to know about ISO certification and what it entails. Individual product pages, however, lay out the benefits of getting the ISO interspersed with some big buttons taking you to their ‘request a price’ and case study pages. So it’s all written in easy-to-understand format, although the content is little more than marketing fluff.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards with a couple besides (see below). There’s a detailed FAQs section based around ISO certification itself as well as implementing and running a management system. They run a separate branch of the company which handles ISO training either classroom-based, online or on-site if that floats your boat.
Overall: Pros - professional outfit that is very much around the ‘we will get you your ISO certificate’ mould. Cons - doesn’t offer much in the way of helpful resources or any interactive tools to get you underway.
At number 3 - ISO Consultants
ISO Consultants - we guess does they do what it says on the tin - deliver an ISO implementation service as well as some DIY ISO packages. The company was founded by a gentleman called Colin Brown who has a long manufacturing background, so this probably shows where the focus is of the type of advice given.
Past clients: The company presents a number of testimonials, but all around manufacturing companies such as P&P Safety (safety equipment manufacturer), Talar Made (orthotics manufacturer) and Capatex (medical products manufacturer). [put that here]
Knowledge Hub: There is no resource hub as such but the company does offer PDF ‘Essential Guides’ on the four main standards which are a very brief snapshot of the requirements of each standard. The company also presents a series of blog articles, such as ‘Data Security and the role of ISO 27001 certification’, ‘What is the ISO 14001 standard?’, and ‘What is A Quality Management System?’, although these are quite old now with the most recent one posted in January 2021.
Giveaways: Other than the guides and blogs, no giveaways or tools could be located.
Pricing: Fees are based on a daily rate (the rate isn’t given) and it says that the days required are typically 5-6 days for a small business. For more details have to contact them.
Accessibility: The company has a telephone number, online enquiry form and an email address all to be found on its contacts page.
Plain English: The consultancy home page some information about ISO certification itself along with a a bit of blurb about the company and a set of links to the services it offers.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards with quite a few more besides. DIY packages are also available which are around templates accompanied by tutorial videos.
Overall: Pros - a straightforward and hands-on consultancy offering, although seems to be focussed around manufacturing. Cons - might be a bit too focussed on manufacturing which can make ISO 9001, for example, very overwhelming when applied to non-manufacturing companies.
At number 4 - Aviso
Aviso can sometimes be quite overwhelming in the sheer range of services they offer. Primarily this is around ISO consultancy (in over 40 standards), software (ISOvA, which appears to be a database-driven package) and training (Toolbox Talks and Internal Audit training). Their whole website operates around the use of tags in order to help users navigate the volume of things on offer, but this can often result in a messy visit and leaving in confusion.
Past clients: A number of case studies are available covering companies such as Cranfield Impact Centre; Harbrine Architectural Ironmongery; EDM London; Gama Healthcare; and Alpine Works Building Services.
Knowledge Hub: Given the amount of information on their site, you’d probably expect a detailed resources page to help you out. However, there area number of blog articles, such as ‘Keeping Your Management System - Blog Six: System Maturity’, ‘Keeping Your Management System - Blog Five: Availability’, and ‘Keeping Your Management System Simple – Blog Two: Focus & Honesty’.
Giveaways: Other than the articles listed above, there are no particular things on offer.
Pricing: This is one of those companies where there’s no indication of pricing or typical prices, and the only thing you can do is to either phone or email them, or fill in a web form.
Accessibility: The company has a telephone number, email address and web form all to be found on its contacts page, and a Chat Box which is available on every page. They have a Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn Company Page feed which is very occasionally updated with some company marketing fluff.
Plain English: The home page is well laid out which gives you some information about the company and the certification process itself. The overall site is written in plain English, the only issue is cutting though the vast swathes of information about so many different standards.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards (obvs) with all of the other standards, software and training things added in.
Overall: Pros - they would certainly be able to help with just about any standard you could think of. Cons - the problem with trying to be all things to all people is that you might not get the focus required on the standard that you’re investing in.
At number 5 - JR Consultants
JR Consultants is a family business (the MD and his two daughters) which offers the main four standards but also a focus on the Security Industry Association’s Approved Contractor Scheme and Forest Stewardship Council certification. Their site appears to be more geared towards Search Engine Optimisation as one main section simply lists industries (e.g. Training Companies, Landscaping Companies, Electronics Sector, etc) which just adds some standard text on each page (see below).
Past clients: We couldn’t find any examples of past clients, although the company did claim to have helped around 250 in the past 30 years.
Knowledge Hub: This was really at a minimum with the only useful area a News page which didn’t actually contain any news (e.g. ’Make Your Company More Sustainable With ISO’, ‘How To Get The Most Out Of Your Internal Audit’, ‘Why Choose JR Consultants For ISO Certification Services?’ - more blog articles really).
Giveaways: Other than the articles listed above, there are no particular things on offer.
Pricing: This is one of those companies where there’s no indication of pricing or typical prices, and the only thing you can do is to either phone or email them, or fill in a web form.
Accessibility: The company has a telephone number, email address and web form all to be found on its contacts page, and a Chat Box which is available on every page. The company has a Facebook page, but this hasn’t been updated since March 2019.
Plain English: The overall site is really geared around giving you information on ISOs themselves rather than how the company will approach a project. The information given is presented in a straightforward way.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards (obvs) with SIA and FSC other areas of focus.
Overall: Pros - they give you a lot of information about the certification process so seem to have a good handle on this. Cons - talking so much about the certification process itself might mean they don’t put as much emphasis on improving the organisations they work with (which, at the end of the day, is the point of putting in the standards).
At number 6 - Blackmores
Blackmores are a consultancy focussed around London, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire and offer the four main standards, as well as a range of additional specialist ones.
Past clients: The company lists a range of past clients such as CH2M Hill, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Level 3 Communications, and the NHS. There were no case studies that can be found.
Knowledge Hub: There is no specific knowledge hub, but the company lists a substantial range of podcasts (94 so far) which cover a diverse range of topics such as ‘The Seven Steps of Carbonology’, ‘What is ISO 32210 - Sustainable Finance’, and ‘What is Streamlined Energy Carbon Reporting (SECR)?’, although many of these areas as a bit specialist and might not help you with your quality, environmental, health & safety and information security systems.
Giveaways: Other than the podcasts, no giveaways or tools could be located.
Pricing: The company operates using three types of support plan (Basic, Pro and Premier) with the basic one running at £275 per month, the Pro at £550 per month, and the Premier starting at £825 per month, with a breakdown of what you get being presented via video.
Accessibility: The company has a telephone number in its header and an email address and web enquiry form can be found on its contact page. The company also has a semi-regular presence on Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube should you want to get in touch that way. The posts themselves mainly promote webinars and podcasts.
Plain English: The company’s home page is more about the company than the features and benefits of ISO standards, so it’s really geared for companies who know all about ISO standards and just want some help putting management systems in place.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards with a few more besides. The company also runs an online video learning package called isologyhub which comes in at £79 per month. There’s no FAQs section about standards, although a detailed one exists for its isologyhub product.
Overall: Pros - good selection of podcasts and interesting online learning offering. Cons - not exactly busting with information for those companies unfamiliar with ISO management systems.
At number 7 - Inspiring
Inspiring is a bit of a confusing bag as they help with ISO consultancy but much of their work seems to be around Lexcel, which is the Law Society's legal practice quality mark. So you might argue that their ISO consultancy offering is probably not their main priority, particularly when you see their consultancy home page lists OHSAS 18001 as the Health & Safety management system they’ll put in for you, a now defunct standard.
Past clients: No case studies or testimonials could be found.
Knowledge Hub: For ISO-hunting organisations the company’s Resource Hub is a bit of a disappointment, offering articles on subjects such as ‘4 Ways to Encourage Better Teamwork in your Business’, ‘Why Diversity and Inclusion is Important for your SME’, and ‘How to Identify Future Leaners in Your Organisation’.
Giveaways: Other than the articles listed above, which would be of limited value, no giveaways or tools could be located.
Pricing: This is one of those companies where there’s no indication of pricing or typical prices, and the only thing you can do is to either phone or email them.
Plain English: The home page really contains scant information about the company and what it offers and only seemingly serves to confirm the existence of ISO standards.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards (we can only assume they would help with ISO 45001 instead of OHSAS 18001 if required) with more of an emphasis on their Lexcel offering.
Overall: Pros - if you’re in the legal profession and looking for ISO standards you may want to get in touch as they probably have the right level of experience in this sector. Cons - if you’re not in the legal sector, then their offering looks a bit limp in comparison to other more dedicated ISO consultancies.
At number 8 - Bywater
Bywater is really focussed on training and has its consultancy side of the business almost ‘tacked on’ where they match (it appears) freelance consultants to the standard you need help with. They’re a well-established training provider, but the consultancy side of things is where our focus is.
Past clients: There were a series of impressive-looking past clients - BP, Wolverhampton City Council, Buckinghamshire County Council & Westminster City Council - but on closer inspection these were actually for procurement, contract management and training services rather than any ISO consultancy. There were no case studies specific to ISO consultancy (these were around training course delivery).
Knowledge Hub: They do have a Resources section, however much of this is giving you copies of the standard to purchase directly on the International Organization for Standardization’s website. However, there were a couple of potentially useful items, such as a Nonconformity Test where you follow evidence and apply your knowledge of the standard, or a Business Continuity Quiz.
Giveaways: Other than the bits and pieces on the Resources page, no giveaways or tools could be located.
Pricing: This is one of those companies where there’s no indication of pricing or typical prices, and the only thing you can do is to either phone them or use their online form to send them a message.
Accessibility: The company has a telephone number, online enquiry form and an email address all to be found on its contacts page. There is Live Chat available which sits in the bottom right had corner of every page.
Plain English: The consultancy home page gives a brief mention of ISO management system implementation, but has to compete with their Procurement & Contract Management Consultancy and Lean Six Sigma Consultancy offerings.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards with a few more. The company, quite understandably, focusses on its training offering, such as auditor training.
Overall: Pros - the training element of the company may complement what you’re after when looking for an ISO consultancy. Cons - conversely, if you’re looking for an ISO consultant, you may not want to be getting into formal training courses at this stage as you just want to get certified.
At number 9 - QMS
Go online and you’ll probably get bombarded for ads by QMS - they have a slick website and their very name is designed as a great Google keyword. They are quite a strange fish though - their offering is to ‘kind of’ put in a management system for you which they will then audit.
We say ‘kind of’ as they will get a consultant to do a gap analysis for you to highlight any areas where you’re weak (or non-existent). They’ll then provide you with a series of templates for you to fill, also giving you access to advice on filling these in. They will then audit you and give you a certificate which is accredited by an organisation called ASCB (not UKAS). So a little bit strange, but if all you’re after is a certificate to slap on your wall, it might fit the bill.
Past clients: The company has worked with a number of organisations listed on their site, such as Greenbank Compactors LLP, DW Plastics Limited, New Zealand Manuka Group, and Smart IT. They also feature a video testimonial from the Health, Safety and Environmental Manager of Ware Recycling.
Knowledge Hub: The company have a decent Resources page which offers access to some free webinars and case studies. It has a templates section (all in PDF) which gives you some internal audit schedule templates (good), a management review template (extremely bloated with things in there you really don’t need), and non-conformance log template (missing key sections on root cause analysis and verification of effectiveness).
In addition, a Guides and Checklists section has the following documents for all four of the standards: Overview, Beginner’s Guide, Implementation Guide, and Product Checklist (basically a checklist of what you need to do to comply with the standard). So a useful selection of resources for you to purloin.
Giveaways: As we mentioned above, the company offers some free webinars, with one planned at time of writing addressing the question ‘What is Annex-SL?’. The only other real ‘giveaway’. Is to get an online quotation (not much of a giveaway, but just thought we’d mention it).
Pricing: Their ‘free calculator’ is pretty simple to use, you really just pick the standard you want to get (from quite a long list), put in your annual turnover, sector, and how many staff and offices you have, along with your contact details. The system then spits out a fee (for a basic business you’d be looking at an initial Certification fee of £999 and an Annual fee of £799. It’s also worth noting that they try to tie you into 10-year contracts, so you should really be sure this is the road you want to go down before signing up.
Accessibility: The company certainly wants you to get in touch, so expect some emails and phone calls should you use the price calculator or make an enquiry. An online chat box will also pop up regularly when you visit their website, and there are a couple of different numbers you can phone. A web form is available if that’s your preference.
The company also has a regular presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube should you want to get in touch that way.
Plain English: The style used is basic explainers to the benefits of getting standards on the home page, then their ‘3 Steps to Certification’. So plus points for outlining the offering, but minus points for not really pointing out up-front what the difference is between their offering and a more traditional ISO consultancy (i.e. what ASCB is and how it differs from UKAS).
Flexibility: They do offer quite an array of services, such as an online ISO management system platform (which, no, we didn’t get to try) as well as video learning, training courses and consultancy services. So there should be enough there to help most organisations, however we did notice on their main certification offering that help was provided using an e-ticketing system, so we’re not sure how great this would be if you’d put aside some time to get on with putting together your system and were stuck on something.
Overall: Pros - cheaper than getting a UKAS certificate; a ‘one-stop’ solution if you just want a certification on your wall. Cons - doesn’t really make clear what the difference is between their offering and the ‘normal’ ISO route of using an expert ISO consultant before getting audited by a separate and independent UKAS-accredited Certification Body.
At number 10 - isoassured
isoassured is a very confusing offering, they offer certification services but nowhere do they tell you who actually accredits their certification (is it UKAS, QMS, some other body? They keep their cards close to their chest!) which is ironic as their pitch screams ‘Here’s a really straightforward way to get certified’. It reminds us a bit of those despot-ruled countries in Africa who insist on putting ‘Democratic’ and ‘Republic’ in their titles when they’re clearly neither of those things.
They have a consultancy part of the business (so appearing to break that wall of not consulting with the same clients you’re auditing for independence purposes) and that’s the bit we’re going to focus on.
Past clients: The company a number of client testimonials, coming from: JDD Furniture, Haven, Compass Pharna, Organic Agency, 45, etc. There were no case studies that could be found.
Knowledge Hub: There is no knowledge hub, only a range of blog articles on offer covering areas such as ‘Selecting The Right Certification Body’, ‘Closing Out Non-Conformances’, and ‘Onsite Vs Remote Consultancy’.
Giveaways: Other than the blogs, no giveaways or tools could be located.
Pricing: This is one of those companies where there’s no indication of pricing or typical prices, and there is an online form you can fill in where they will then give you a ring and get you a cost.
Accessibility: The company has a telephone number, online enquiry form and an email address all to be found on its contacts page.
Plain English: The home page lays out a bit more about the company, enough for you to glean that their ISO consultants are part of a network (so we can probably assume they are freelancers) which just adds to the confusion about whether they are a certification body or consultancy company.
Flexibility: All consultancy services are on offer for the main four standards with a couple more. The company also has an online document storage package which has a store of ISO documents for you to fill in. This links through to another site where a toolkit will set you back around £300 per standard. There’s no FAQs section available.
Overall: Pros - their blog section might give you some useful tips, although there is not a lot of them to choose from. Cons - a bit of a confusing offering and it’s difficult to fathom what sort of certification they are offering and where this fits in with their consultancy service.
