British Assessment Bureau, which is part of the Amtivo group<\/strong><\/a>, is delighted to announce the acquisition of the certification business of QCS International.<\/p>\r\n

Founded in 2001, QCS International (QCS) has a long-standing relationship with British Assessment Bureau (BAB), acting as an Agent and issuing certification for a range of UKAS-accredited standards under license from BAB. As a result, both the clients and team are already familiar with BAB.<\/p>\r\n

Commenting on the acquisition, Chief Revenue Officer, Paul Levett, said \u201cWe are very pleased to be able to welcome the clients and team from QCS International into the growing family at BAB. Having worked with them for some time it is clear that this will benefit everyone concerned, offering a wider range of services to QCS\u2019 clients and expanding BAB\u2019s coverage in the UK. Meanwhile, we look forward to welcoming the QCS team onboard and leveraging their vast experience in the ISO certification market\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

Lucinda Parfitt, the company\u2019s Director explained \u201cWe have worked so well with British Assessment Bureau over the years that we already felt like part of the family. Therefore, when we were approached to discuss the opportunity to join the UK\u2019s fast-growing and most exciting ISO certification providers, it was an easy decision to make.\u201d Lucinda, continued \u201cBeing able to offer our clients a wider range of services and the support of a much larger team, can only be a good outcome for all concerned.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

This deal represents the sixth acquisition by Amtivo Group<\/a><\/strong> over the past two years and demonstrates the Group\u2019s commitment to offering its clients the best possible range of products and services, supported by some of the best expertise in the market.<\/p>\r\n

Paul Levett continued \u201cThe past year has been an incredibly tough time for most industries, globally; however we have weathered the storm extremely well, adapting our services to ensure our clients are able to maintain their certification and increasing the range of products we offer in support of their desire to achieve business excellence and improve operational efficiency. As a result, we continue to seek opportunities that will enable us to deliver ever more and ever better solutions for our clients.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British Assessment Bureau has announced its latest acquisition.
