This topic may not fill everyone with the same enthusiasm that Andrew has for the topic, but no business in our sector can work outside of a robust internationally recognised accreditation standard.\nHaving left the UK for Australia in 2019 to become a senior auditor for LRQA (formerly Lloyd's Register), Andrew has recently taken on a new role with Conflux Technology. Andrew also writes for our publication The Metal Magazine, and you can contact him with your questions via the hashtag #AssuranceWithAndrew.\nAmongst other things we talk about:\n* What quality is.\n* Why you should incorporate a quality standard into your business.\n* How to get started if you don't have a quality standard.\n* How to select an accreditation body.\n* Common problems around quality, and how to avoid making these mistakes.\n* Why he started to write about quality, and demystifying the concept.\nThis podcast was recorded in April 2022.\n------------------------------------------------------------------\nSEASON TWO of The Metal Guys Talk Business is sponsored by:\nThe UK Metals Expo - 13th-14th September 2023, NEC Birmingham - ukmetalsexpo.com\nAnglo Stainless - Supplier of stainless steel pipes, fittings and flanges - anglostainless.co.uk\nAmron Architectural - Specialists in metal meshes and architectural finishes - www.amronarchitectural.co.uk\n------------------------------------------------------------------\nThe Metal Guys Talk Business is created and produced by Comton Group.
