Jan Atherton

Management Systems Consultant

Welcome to my website - glad you could drop by! 

I set up ISO Certification Support to help local business in their aims to achieve and maintain their management systems certification.  Many companies find the initial stages of certification a frightening step - I can help support you in that first step through gap analysis, audits, risks analysis, understanding and evaluating compliance obligations to name a few.

I continue to work as a freelance Management System Assessor for top UKAS accredited certification bodies and have over 20 years experience.  Before certification work, I was a manufacturing systems engineer with experience in process engineering and quality management in as wide ranging industry sectors as engineering, textiles and food.  So whatever your sector I hope there will always be an opportunity to speak a common language.

Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss how I can help support your business be it first steps into certification or ongoing maintenance of a mature management system.

My Green Commitments

Carbon Commitment

ISO Certification Support Ltd is committed to Net Zero.   This means cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere.

Travel Policy

Where possible and appropriate, travel is eliminated through the use of web meetings, email and other electronic means. 


Where travel takes place, the Carbon Impact of this is measured.


Cars used on company business emit less than 110g/km CO2e, with a goal for full EV by 2027.


Where possible and appropriate, public transport is used in low carbon zones and for locations with good public transport connections.

Energy Policy

The Carbon Impact of all electricity, gas and other fuels used to power, heat, cool and light ISO Certification Support Ltd premises is measured.


All electricity purchased is from 100% renewables and does not include nuclear power. 

Off-Setting Policy

The Carbon Impact measures from travel and energy use are offset through investment in Verified Carbon Scheme.


Projects invested in satisfy the requirement for immediate carbon reduction and sequestration.  Focus is on renewable energy.


Optional additional projects may be invested in which have longer term positive carbon impacts such as tree planting.


Off setting is reviewed regularly to address further carbon reduction programmes.
