"Patrick was on of the first ISO 9000 pracitioners to come to Canada from Britain to share the knowledge with his clients, partners and colleagues. Aside from his consulting work, his external auditing skills for business process evaluation deliver a truly independent perspective with acitonable reccomendations. On the consulting side, I have witnessed first hand how Patrick can take a compliance standard and/or quality management program and customize it specifically for the client's requirements to go beyond compliance. This includes driving costs out of the business while delivering a meaningful return on investment."
