When business is hard to come by, as in these difficult times, holding a quality standard(or several) can give you that extra competitive edge that can make all the difference.We have been impressed with the continuing take-up of multiple standards by a growingnumber of members who have recognised this and are using it to their advantage.

Reflecting this and to encourage others, we have expanded our scale of discounts forcompanies holding several certifications - this can now give you as much as 30% off yourannual audit costs!

For further information and advice on Quality Standards, please contactChris Waymouth: E: chris.waymouth@bar.co.ukor call 01923 699480/ 07831 309379
