    Testimonial

    We have seen enormous benefits from the implementation and maintaining of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 under the guidance of Daniel Lynch of QSI Ltd. His practical approach to monitoring and improving our processes to align with our strategic goals has facilitated growth in a controlled and logical manner.

    His LEAN approach in reduction of wasteful activities has greatly streamlined our systems and the 5S implementation in calibration workshop and the warehouse has resulted in visual improvements and controls on the ground.
