Arras People, the project management recruitment specialists, today celebrated the accumulation of months of preparation with the award of their BS EN ISO9001:2008 Certification for the provision of project Management and staffing solutions.

The award, granted by the International Organisation for Standardisation, followed a successful independent audit of Arras People’s key business policies, processes, procedures and best practices techniques which are used in the project management recruitment process.

Lead consultant for Arras People, Mick Hides, said: “The ISO 9001 Certification now opens up new markets for Arras People, it has enabled us to start working with new clients that had specific procurement requirements in place, specifically that new suppliers must have the accreditation. We’re looking forward to supplying our unique services to a wider market”

John Thorpe, Managing Director of Arras People, said: “It’s reassuring to know that we went through the ISO 9001:2008 process with no major changes, we worked hard in the preparation but fundamentally the accreditation shows we’re running a controlled business and it is a great platform on which to continue grow and provide our customers with an enhanced recruitment experience.”
