Consulting services

QHSE audits, management-system reviews and operational compliance support.

Independent audit and advisory support for maritime and industrial organisations requiring ISO 9001 audit readiness, management-system improvement, regulatory gap analysis and practical operational-risk controls.

Cross-industry capability

Quality-management discipline, grounded in operations.

Meriden supports organisations that need an independent view of whether their systems are clear, implemented and capable of producing reliable evidence. Maritime is our specialist operational background—not the boundary of the service.

Warsash Maritime School · Solent University

Maritime Auditor / Lead Auditor

Completed the five-day course and final examination. The MCA-approved training is designed to develop the knowledge and skills required to conduct ISO 9000-series and ISM audits of other organisations or facilitate an audit of the participant's own organisation.

IOSH-approved and validated course

Noise at Work Risk Assessment and Management

Completed training delivered in association with the Industrial Noise & Vibration Centre, supporting focused review of workplace-noise risk assessment and management arrangements.

Audit and certification are different services.

Meriden provides independent audit and advisory support. It is not an accredited certification body, does not certify organisations and does not claim ISO 14001 or ISO 45001 Lead Auditor status.

Maritime specialism

Operational experience where compliance meets the vessel and shore team.

Maritime remains a specialist capability: vessel and shore-management reviews, ISM and SMS gap analysis, inspection readiness, operational risk controls and focused QHSE projects.

This experience also informs cross-industry work by keeping attention on implementation, field evidence and whether critical controls operate in practice.
