Manning Construction ISO 9001 & 14001 Recertification
Author: Andrew Protheroe
Doing nothing different, just doing it well…
Congratulations to all at Manning Construction Limited! (link to ‘about’ section of website)
In 2017 I sat down with Stephen Euston (Managing Director) and we de-constructed their 9001 ‘check box’ 9001 system … then designed, developed and implemented the company’s current integrated management system:
Last week we welcomed William Richards from SGS for Mannings 4 day recertification for ISO9001 and ISO14001. As a management standards auditor myself, I am always interested to experience another auditors approach - cheers Will, very thorough, pragmatic and professional.
LEADERSHIP at the TOP
Unfortunately, the truth is that many Mangement Systems are built to satisfy the auditors’ pen. This one isn’t - it is live.
Live strategy… mutually supporting
Live objectives… requiring
Assessment of risks… needing
Realistic Management Plans
LEADERSHIP in the MIDDLE
Mannings Project Managers, QS’s and HQ Staff own and maintain the ‘managment system’ main elements
LEADERSHIP on the COAL FACE
This is where it all matters. A quote from James Bowen (Site Manager), 5 minutes before Will arrived on site, “Andy, I only knew yesterday that you were coming to audit, but I don’t care, he can see anything he wants” … Nothing to hide
It’s always refreshing to be involved with a REAL management system … and watching Leanne Fullick the Sheep Whisperer of course!! 😃
Also, as always, thanks to PCR’s Jonathan Hughes for running the Site visits, Phil Parry for building training materials, Rhian Gleaves-Chilcott for managing the online training program & Lisa Protheroe for delivering some specialist well-being support.
Strength in Depth - ISO - Authenticity
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, Stay Productive.
