At a time of rapid growth, it's often tricky to manage quality of service ensuring all clients’ needs are satisfied, fortunately for us we’re pretty knowledgeable when it comes to Quality Management Systems, it’s what we do! We’ve welcomed countless new clients to AAC in the past 12months considering each organisation’s individual needs along the way and we believe it’s paid off. One recent registration with AAC was Nortim Precision Engineering based in Gloucestershire. Trading since 1971, [Nortim Precision Engineering](http://www.nortim.co.uk/) have long been established as a trusted name in Precision Engineering with an impressive portfolio of clients attesting to this. As is so often the case, the team at Nortim Precision Engineering noticed a trend in existing and prospective clients stipulating Accredited ISO 9001 Certification as prerequisite to obtaining valuable future contracts; need I say anymore? Nortim Precision Engineering signed with AAC in February this year achieving certification within two months! Jess Scarborough of Nortim Tools said “The visit was made very easy and simple, we were able to continue the flow of the business with no interruptions or delays”, Tony Powell added “our clients are very happy with our new certification”, “We’ve already recommended AAC to other local businesses”. If you’re looking to improve your quality of service and get ISO 9001 certified talk to one of our team today and see what we can do for your business.   Photo - Tony Powell - Managing Director (left), Jess Scarborough - Office Manager (Right)   ### LATEST NEWS [![ISO 27001 and the physical security of information](https://blog.aacertification.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ISO-27001-and-the-Physical-Security-of-Information.jpg?width=730&name=ISO-27001-and-the-Physical-Security-of-Information.jpg) ](https://blog.aacertification.com/iso-27001-and-the-physical-security-of-information) #### [ISO 27001 and the physical security of information](https://blog.aacertification.com/iso-27001-and-the-physical-security-of-information) [Read More...](https://blog.aacertification.com/iso-27001-and-the-physical-security-of-information) [![Who is responsible for the protection of information security?](https://blog.aacertification.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Who-is-responsible-for-the-protection-of-information-security.jpg?width=730&name=Who-is-responsible-for-the-protection-of-information-security.jpg) ](https://blog.aacertification.com/who-is-responsible-for-the-protection-of-information-security) #### [Who is responsible for the protection of information security?](https://blog.aacertification.com/who-is-responsible-for-the-protection-of-information-security) Cyber-attacks have become more sophisticated and deadly than ever, from phishing scams to website spoofing, IoT hacking, identity fraud and the use of ransomware.

Maintaining an advantage over your competitors is crucial to not only surviving but to prosper in these economic times. **UKAS Accreditation** AAC is UKAS accredited to certify ISO 9001 quality management systems and is currently exploring opportunities to further its accreditation to incorporate ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 27001 to meet the demands of its customers; at this time AAC certifies these management systems independently, utilising the same due-diligence and care it applies to its accredited ISO 9001 certifications and will transfer these clients free of charge when appropriate. ### Latest from our Blog [![ISO 27001 and the physical security of information](https://blog.aacertification.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ISO-27001-and-the-Physical-Security-of-Information.jpg?width=730&name=ISO-27001-and-the-Physical-Security-of-Information.jpg) ](https://blog.aacertification.com/iso-27001-and-the-physical-security-of-information) #### [ISO 27001 and the physical security of information](https://blog.aacertification.com/iso-27001-and-the-physical-security-of-information) [Read More...](https://blog.aacertification.com/iso-27001-and-the-physical-security-of-information) ### Useful Links [www.ukas.com](http://www.ukas.com) [www.iaf.nu](http://www.iaf.nu) [www.quality.org](http://www.quality.org) [www.iso.org](http://www.iso.org) [Work with us](https://www.aacertification.com/work-with-us-0)   [![AAC UKAS](https://blog.aacertification.com/hubfs/ukas-mgt-systems.svg)](https://www.aacertification.com/aa-certification-limited-ukas-certification/uncategorised/aa-certification-limited-ukas-certification) Copyright © 2020 AA Certification.
