Proven Expert ISO Consultancy
Candy MC’s Vision and philosophy is to streamline your processes in line with the ISO standard alongside your business activities and procedures to make it easier to achieve certification in a timely matter. We take away the rigorous procedures and simplify the international standards to make them easier to digest. This will enable you to understand what the requirements are, in a stress-free environment.
Our view on certification is ‘as long as it’s done correctly, your customers are satisfied with certification and you meet the requirements of the standard, then you have gained ISO Certification in the correct way.’ You’re in safe hands in with us.

An Interview With Our Director
How Long Have You Been In Consultancy?
I have now been a consultant and third party auditor for nearly 13 years. Time flies when you’re having fun and enjoy helping companies improve!
What Made You Want To Start Your Own Consultancy Business?
I’ve always wanted to have a business but was always too scared of the risks associated with it. When I met my business partner Yasar I knew our visions and ideas were right and we could make a change.
This industry has a bad reputation for consultants promising the earth and ultimately not delivering. I want to make a difference and prove that there are good, honest and helpful consultsants through proven practice and satisfied customers.
What Is Your Favourite Part About Being A Consultant?
For Anyone Who Has Little Knowledge Of ISO Standards, What Would You Tell Them?
Don’t overthink the ISO Standards as you can make it as hard as you want or as smoothly as you want it to be. There is lots of information on the internet but some of it is confusing and conflicting so don’t let this put you off.
The standards are all about continual improvement and this can happen in so many different ways depending on what you want out of it. We’re here to help you and answer any questions you may have. Give us a call any time.
What Do You Think Makes Candy Stand Out From The Competition?
Our approach is that a standard system does not fit all. We work with you to understand what you do and map this back to the standard so the system is written around what you do rather than you copying the standard requirements and putting in extra processes that are not really needed. Our consultancy services and ISO implementation processes are tailored to your businesses needs.
Our 100% success rate makes us stand out from our competition, we never use sub-contractors and all of our consultants are acting auditors for Certification Bodies so you really do get the best of both worlds by using Candy.
What Has Been Your Proudest Moment as Director of Candy MC?
My proudest moment has got to be the reputation we have built in such a short space of time and some of the big clients we have attracted due to our unique approach.
One of our clients had struggled for years but when they sought Candy’s help them things got so much better for them and we still help them to this day. I love knowing that our clients feel confident with our services and the long-lasting business relationships we have created with them.
Tell us something about yourself
I really enjoy fishing and not everyone knows this about me. I have started to help organise some charity fishing matches around the North-West all in aid of the Speed of Sight Charity based in Bolton. The charity is amazing and if I can help them by arranging for like-minded people to fish and have a fun day then I’m happy.
