The7 MB Testimonials

Don Henry

We hired Ash C… and he hit the ground running. Ash was extremely knowledgeable about ISO 9001 and really took our company to another level in regards to Quality. He was very conscientious about our need to improve our quality and was very willing to travel to all our various locations to ensure our staff were aware and were following our Quality System. Ash would perform his own ISO internal audits and as a result, when it was time for our external ISO audit, there were never any issues.

In my experience, there are times when the Quality Manager has a difficult time establishing a relationship with the Management Team Members. I found in Ash’s case, he was very intelligent and found a way to discuss issues with Managers and as such earned the respect of the Managers. As a result, discussing Quality didn’t cause any morale issues.

To conclude, if you are looking to enhance your ISO system or to implement a new Quality
Management system, I believe Ash C… is the right choice.

Plant Manager

Sinisa Vasic, Mech. Eng., MSc.

I met Ash back in 2005 when I joined Alliance Surface Finishing in Mississauga, Ontario as a Quality Manager. Since the company was not registered to ISO 9001 standard at that time, we established a team which goal was to develop and implement QMS as per standard requirements and to achieve ISO 9001 certification in the next six months, Ash was an essential team member.

He was enthusiastic and eager to contribute to team success, motivated to learn, grow, and excel with a company. As Quality Control Technician he was aware of his responsibilities and commitment to deliver on time, keeping operation in compliance with strong customers’, regulatory and ISO 9001 requirements. He was a great team worker, possesses a great work ethic and showed rare leadership qualities.

As an internal audit team member, he was forward thinking with great understanding of auditing procedures and methodologies.

Ash is very dedicated and innovative and has strong technical foresight.

Allan Stokes

I have had the pleasure of knowing Ash since 2005 where I first promoted him into the role of Quality technician. Since then, we went on our separate ways however Ash has kept to his true passion of developing and ensuring adherence to best practices around quality assurance. Due to the various requirements of his roles around ISO certification he has become an expert in the field of ISO certification and adherence to the standards. I think that one of the greatest aspects of his approach is ensuring there is the right balance between meeting both the needs of the business as well as the requirements from and ISO perspective.
