Testimonials

It was my first time going after a certification and Amtivo made the process so easy and straightforward that I didn’t even have another certification body in mind. Our auditor truly understood our scope of work and valued how we incorporated the environmental management system into it.

KPW Design and Print have used Amtivo, formerly BQAI as our external certification company, since 2012, to provide certification services across our quality, information security and environmental management systems.

I can say without hesitation that Declan and his team are the most professional and supportive accreditation company that I have had the experience of dealing with in the last 20 years.

Their approach to auditing is refreshing and their extensive business experience means that their observations and recommendations for improvement are sensible, practical and implementable.

Declan and his team are extremely personable and have established very good working relationships with the team in KPW. We are more than happy to continue our relationship with Amtivo, formerly BQAI into the future.

In 2008, due to new European standards for whole vehicle type approval becoming compulsory in our industry, we were obliged to review all our systems, codify them, and subject our processes to independent verification that Dennison Trailers systems were at a level certifiable to an appropriate international standard.

Having sought recommendations from other companies that had achieved ISO certification, Amtivo, formerly BQAI were recommended to us as an appropriate assessment and registration partner to obtain ISO Certification.  In addition, a determining factor, as we trade internationally, was that Amtivo, formerly BQAI were accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) which gave them worldwide standing.

Our experience with the assessment team from Amtivo, formerly BQAI has been excellent.  We get a fair but thorough assessment annually, with a complete reassessment every three years.

TLI Group’s journey to ISO 27001 certification with Amtivo was a smooth and highly professional experience from start to finish. Achieving this certification was a key milestone for TLI Group, and Amtivo played a crucial role in guiding us through every phase of the process.

From the initial onboarding to the final audit, their team provided clear, structured, and practical support.

Amtivo exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to helping us succeed. TLI Group wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any organisation looking to achieve ISO certification with confidence.

We received certifications for three standards, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. We obtained certification in August 2023 with the support of the professional services of Amtivo, which was Certification Europe at that time. The overall experience was very good, mainly due to the professionalism, knowledge and expertise of the assessor.
