A is for accreditation

So many businesses and brands make big claims to offer ‘the best’, but actually having proof of this quality is rare. At Belle, we think it’s important to keep ourselves on our toes, striving to provide the absolute best in service, product and price.

That’s why we decided to go for our ISO:9001 accreditation last year. It’s a difficult accreditation to achieve and requires months of hard work to prove your business deserves to hold this gold standard.

 

What’s ISO:9001?

ISO:9001 is a Quality Management System (QMS). A QMS is a set of policies, processes and procedures needed for planning and carrying out production, development and services in an organisation. It’s a powerful business improvement tool.

ISO 9001:2015 is the most recognised QMS standard in the world and in November we achieved our accreditation! As we hold this accreditation, you can rest assured we’re operating at the top of our game.A QMS makes sure employees get the right training, processes are working perfectly and that proper records are kept.

 

Why should ISO:9001 matter to you?

We want to offer you the very best and make your design and print desires a reality. This has always been our goal and the ISO:9001 is proof that we’re driven by quality and value and always looking to improve as a business.

Using a QMS means we’re conforming to regulations and providing a high-value product in a cost-efficient way. This way, you know you’re getting great value for money.

 

Pharmaceutical grade print

Now we’re certified, we’ve gained many new clients in a diverse range of sectors. Our commitment to quality has won us work in the pharmaceutical sector, where the quality of print has absolutely no room for error.

We’ve worked with Maxearn (a pharmaceutical company) for 20 years and now thanks to our new accreditation we have formed a new partnership with them to produce all of its patient information leaflets. Maxearn used to print the majority of leaflets in house – now all leaflets are printed here at Belle.

Here’s a testimonial from Craig Fishwick at Maxearn: “we’ve used Belle Print for many years, however, since we made the decision to fully outsource our printing requirements in June 2018 they’ve been extremely accommodating and supportive. Their flexibility and support has been invaluable to our business and their desire to continuously improve for the benefit of their customers will only strengthen our partnership moving forward.”

Keep your eyes peeled for our next in the series… B for brand identity.
