Challenge

As the company established itself as one of the leading organisations within the industry, being accredited with the ISO certification was the next challenge that the company needed to embark on.

With STEP by its side, the process of obtaining ISO certification was flawless. Guidance was provided to put everything into structure and documenting every step of the company’s workflow. This helped in creating straight forward procedures that employees can abide to.

Approach

STEP offered a bespoke service which started by making sure that they had a deep understanding of the business, its context and the organisation’s strengths. With the advice and input given, which was followed by one-to-one meetings, the management systems were created so that EuroBridge ensures to offer top-notch service to present and potential clients.

Outcome

EuroBridge Shipping Services was ISO certified within months of application. An external audit was held by Lloyd’s Register of Quality Assurance, which confirmed that EuroBridge was in conformity with standards required by ISO 9001:2015.

The company is interested in implementing and integrating other ISO certifications, namely Environmental Management (ISO 14001) and also Health and Safety Management (ISO 45001). EuroBridge recognises that being ISO certified gives a competitive edge to obtain important partnerships both locally and internationally.

“Achieving ISO 9001 Certification has given our company much more respectability and recognition internationally and we now view it as an essential part of our marketing strategy. STEP have assisted us throughout the preparation, certification and renewal processes and have clearly shown they are the ideal partner to have for such instances and more!”
