New office for Simply Certification

Exciting news for Team Simply!

This is our new office that we will be moving into on 1st June 2021!

Due to our success and growth, we needed more space for our team and what better place than the Eco Centre in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear.

Alexandra Gates Strategy and Marketing Director tells us;

“We’re ecstatic that our next chapter is here already – we’ve got an extremely strong head office and assessment team with a growing client base.

Our move into the Eco Centre is an ideal space for us given our offering of ISO 14001 (Environment) and PAS 2030 (Retrofit Energy Efficiency Installations) certification.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of our employees, assessors, customers and partners for supporting us along the way.

We’re really looking forward to this next year and bringing more clients on board.”

Supporting the smaller business to gain ISO 9001

ISO 9001 for smaller businesses

As a certification body we work with a range of client types. From large global organisations looking to gain internationally recognised standards through to start ups wanting to embed robust foundations from day one.

ISO 9001 is a great way to start to demonstrate to your customers and future customers, that your organisation has quality running throughout and that you’re a business that can be relied upon.

We work with lots of smaller organisations to ensure that they benefit from having a quality management system in place that helps them to become even more successful.

Our certification costs for ISO 9001 start at £999 and as our name suggests, we do not overcomplicate or confuse our customers! You can gain certification in as little as 2 weeks.

Joining Simply Certification brings a whole hosts of benefits.

We don’t charge an annual membership, you automatically become a Simply Certification member once you gain your first certification with us, which gives you discounted access to our training courses, consultants that can support you and a discounted price on future certifications.

Our UKAS accreditation is underway, which means that your certification will transition to a UKAS accredited certificate which brings along even more benefits.

Simply Certification launch UK’s first PAS 2030 Awareness Course

PAS 2030 Awareness Course

A two day PAS 2030 awareness course – that provides candidates a fast track to gain knowledge of the standard and how to implement and maintain it – has been launched today by Simply Certification.

In partnership with Eco Academy, the first course will be delivered across two days starting the 10th November 2020.

Alex Gates, Simply Certification’s Sales and Marketing Director explains;

“This is such an exciting time for the eco industry in terms of opportunities for growth. However to benefit from funding and all of the opportunities available, there is a need to demonstrate compliance via PAS 2030.

PAS 2030 Awareness Couse

There is so much to learn about the standard and this can be extremely confusing and time consuming. So with leading industry experts in the standard we have packaged this up into a two day training course.

As well as providing formal training around the standard, the course will allow candidates to get their heads around it quickly saving them much time and energy trying to figure it all out.”

Claire Irving, Leader of Eco Academy tells us;

“We’re delighted to partner with Simply Certification to deliver this. The team at Simply have such an impressive knowledge base of the eco industry, the PAS 2030 standard and the wider application and use of it.

With Simply’s expertise around the standard and our award winning training, I’m positive attendees will walk away feeling armed with everything they need to drive PAS 2030 throughout their business.”

Alex concludes;

“We do believe we are the first to design and deliver a PAS 2030 Awareness Course that covers the standard, requirements, best practice on implementation, how to maintain it and also how to gain business opportunities and funding once you have achieved it.

It’s truly a high value learning tool for any eco installation business.”

New certification body launched that promises to break the mould

A new certification body, Simply Certification Limited, was launched in August 2020 and promises to make the ISO and PAS 2030 certification experience to its customers and enjoyable one!

Austin Gibbons, one of the founders of Simply explains;

“I’ve worked in the industry for a few years now as a lead auditor and consultant and it became really apparent to me that organisations actually viewed certification assessments on the whole as a negative experience. Often dreading ‘that time of year’ again which I felt was a shame.

It also appeared to me and that many certification bodies in general were quite dry and didn’t have much of personal appeal. Customer service and a positive culture is everything for a successful business, however this had seemed to be lost in the midst of assessments, standards and compliancy for many certification bodies.”

Austin continues;

“Simply Certification was born out of a team of us coming together with the same vision, attitude and passion; to provide a certification experience that wasn’t needlessly overcomplicated, that our clients enjoy and that is an overall great customer experience.

We are able to provide independent certification that satisfies many our client’s customers’ requirements. However we are underway to gain UKAS accreditation across a number of standards, which brings even more value to our customers.”

Based in the North East of England, Simply Certification are offering a range of products, including:

Delivering ISO certification for the construction industry

Launched in August 2020, Simply Certification is aiming to be the certification body of choice for the construction industry.

Austin Gibbons, one of the founding members of Simply explains:

“Construction is the natural choice for Simply as our key sector. Our team have huge experience in the sector as assessors, consultants and other disciplines which brings a lot to the table for our clients.

We’ve launched this new certification body as we felt the market was in desperate need of a provider that didn’t overcomplicate certification and who provided an enjoyable customer experience. There are many certification bodies around that have become large institutions that are feared and that have lost the “customer comes first” approach.

Our approach is personable, reliable and friendly. We recognise that yearly ISO assessments are often dreaded due to organisations not having a good relationship with their provider. We have broken the mould on this and work in a collaborative manner. Our customers come first and we are there to help their business to flourish.

Assessments should be seen as an opportunity to take a step back and take a look at a business to find improvements. Not a horrendous experience trying to quickly hide faults from the auditor. It’s amazing how many clients our team have come across that have a really dim view of their certification body.”

Compliance is key in construction

Having an independently certified management system such as ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (health and safety)  and PAS 2030 (home energy efficiency installation) is quickly becoming a must for those in the construction sector to gain contract awards and access funding.

Austin explains:

“Having worked as a consultant and lead auditor in the industry I have seen huge growth in the need for organisations to demonstrate compliancy across a range of industry standards.

We have developed a suite of certifications that meets the needs of this industry in particular, including ISO 19650 (BIM) to enable our customers to use one certification body that meets all of their needs.

It’s an exciting time for us all at Simply and we very much look forward delivering the best service to our construction clients.”
