Japanese Electrical Corporation
TOP Q have played a vital role in securing certification to ISO14001:2004 and OHSAS18001:2007 for a major Japanese corporation. On a very tight timeline certification was confirmed at the Stage Two audit in mid-December. In a company wide address, the President thanked all staff involved in the process, with particular reference to TOP Q MD Martyn Heath's expertise and advice. In an age where projects are normally delayed and over budget, TOP Q delivered results 3 and a half months ahead of schedule and 21% under budget.
