Explains chief executive Julia Moore: “The adoption of a quality management system is a strategic decision for any organisation, and it can help to improve the overall performance and provide a sound basis for sustainable development initiatives. This is certainly our experience within the GTMA.”
As a UK-based trade association, GTMA enables the provision of supply chain solutions, technology transfer and industry sector events representing companies through the engineering supply chain. Certificate number CA14472 awarded in June 2017 on behalf of QAS International as being assessed and approved by QAS International.
In parallel with the work required to gain this latest standard the management team at the GTMA have also been working toward ISO 27001 accreditation – developed to help organisations keep information assets secure. It is the best-known standard in the family providing requirements for an Information Security Management System – a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure.
Concludes Moore: “These standards are designed to help organisations manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted by third parties. The importance of which has been highlighted by the global hacking of various institutions across the globe, including the NHS here in the UK. We take the responsibility of care for any information entrusted to us by members or industry partners very seriously, and that is why we are committed to attaining ISO 27001.”
