EQM Ltd has been involved in developing and managing Quality Management Systems for and on behalf of our clients since 1992. In 1996 we expanded our service portfolio to include
Environmental Management Systems,
Health and Safety Management Systems and
Information Security Management Systems.
We have recently expanded our offering again to include Food Safety Systems, Business Continuity Management and
Business Sustainability Consultancy
and TSA Compliance Systems. You will find this site to be the starting point of a whole new way of business management with a selection of services which are here to assist you. We are based in Hampshire with clients outsourcing their management functions to us from all over the UK as well as local areas such as Wiltshire, Dorset, Surrey, Sussex and more. We have a range of clients from
blue chip companies, multi-branch operations to small, family run
businesses. They all have one thing in common - the all view the
services provided by EQM as integral to their operation as we help
them drive their businesses forward.
Whether you need an expert in Quality, Health and Safety, Environmental, Information Security or Risk Management, EQM Ltd have fully trained and experienced people ready and available to help you. You might want a Consultant to help you implement a new system or an outsourced Manager (i.e. part-time Quality Manager) or an Internal or Systems Auditor to help you maintain your system at peak performance. Whatever your needs, you have come to the right place.
Often referred to as "Corporate Trouble-shooters", we at EQM like to think of ourselves as the first and last word in outsourced services for your company. We are not "Jack of all Trades" but we are masters of a few specialized subjects.
We are less "Consultants" and more the additional, highly-trained
members of your team that you wish you could justify having on your
payroll on a full-time basis.
Because we provide Management Systems as mainstream product lines we have extensive knowledge about process development and implementation, as well as process reengineering and operational trouble-shooting. Additionally, we have built up a raft of Support Services designed to complement our mainstream product lines.
Our mission states that we will rival the large multinational consultancies in our chosen areas. This will only be achieved through a commitment to exceptional customer care (not just good or very good, but exceptional). EQM Ltd deliver every project on-time, on budget and to a standard that amazes even the most demanding of our clients.
Because we have a vast amount of specialized knowledge about the UK Fire and Security Industry, this site is divided into two general areas, although many of the support services can be accessed from either area. The first area is Fire and Security and the other is General Services.
EQM is an external resource to
support your efforts to implement or change your
quality management system (ISO
9001). Within EQM, your Quality Management System is synonymous
with your organization. In turn, your operation and everything it does
is shaped and moulded by quality principles. We are the highly skilled
and dedicated additional personnel that you wish you could have on your
payroll permanently - but without all of the costs associated with such
a strategy
Being able to demonstrate improved environmental performance management is of obviously vital importance. Key clients, having implemented their own
Environmental Management Systems
(ISO 14001),
now expect their suppliers to be able to demonstrate some commitment to environmental protection and
stewardship. As a result many organizations want to improve their environmental performance but may not know where to start. EQM
Ltd can provide an implementation framework that allows organizations to
choose the pace of their environmental programmes and the ways that they
measure and monitor their performance.
Occupational health and safety is a must. Every workplace should have a health and safety plan in place in accordance with the health and safety law. The legislative requirements for health and safety regulations have undergone many
changes in recent years, placing additional responsibilities on
employers who often find it difficult not only to keep abreast of the
changes but also to introduce the necessary management systems required.
EQM Ltd helps organizations develop
Health and Safety Management Systems to OHSAS 18001 that not
only controls health and safety requirements for the current situation
but also develops a Management System to ensure continued compliance
regardless of future changes to regulations or to the organization
running it.
More organizations are now coming to realize that there are substantial benefits in integrating information security aspects into all other areas of your business. Some of these benefits include compliance with regulations such as the Data Protection Act 1974, availability of accurate information at the point of use and safeguarding your corporate advantage in terms of customer details, design information, specifications and working practices.
Whether you want to outsource your mandatory Information Security Audit
(if you are registered with the Information Commissioner) or want to
implement a full
Information Security Management System to ISO 27001 or the
requirements of BS 7799, you need look no further than EQM Ltd. Call now
to discuss your requirements further.

Food Safety Management Systems -
Requirements for any organization in the food chain, the organizations
involved in the processing of food items are set to control not only
their own internal processes, but those of their suppliers and customers
as well. In order to ensure the food items that you produce meet the
required standards and compliance with the regulations, it is necessary
to impose certification requirements on your suppliers. If the items you
buy in don't come up to standard, what chance have you got of achieving
compliance yourself?
Business continuity planning (BCP)
is a management process that helps manage the risks to the smooth
running of an organization or the delivery of a service, thereby
ensuring that it can continue to operate in the event of a disruption.
The whole process is sometimes referred to as
business continuity management
(BCM) and its best practices are described in BS 25999. EQM Ltd can help
your organization prepare to continue to do business in the face of
adversity and deteriorating conditions and also to get Certified against
BS 25999 as being compliant.
EQM Ltd is approved by CAMA as a consultancy with knowledge and experience to assist organizations such as your to achieve
Certification to the Telecare Services
Association Codes of Practice.
As well as the initial consultancy or business partnering to achieve the accreditation, EQM Ltd offer a unique "ongoing support" service that enables the system to run smoothly without becoming a burden on your existing staff
Security Screening is simple
in theory but can be very difficult in practice. The easy solution is to
get our highly skilled Screening Department personnel to carry out the
screening for you. Our approach is designed to be customer friendly and
help you forget about the headaches of security screening your personnel to BS 7858. We do not
"reject" screenings out of hand just because we have internal targets to
meet, we send you an invoice rather than requiring payment up front and
we carry insurance to cover these activities. All of which should give
you total peace of mind that a professional security screening agency is
on your case.
We have many additional support
