The firm has developed ‘the PMC Way’, a quality management system based on the international standard BS EN ISO 9001:2015. We comply with the requirements of the standard and continually look to improve the effectiveness of the system and therefore the quality of our work and operations. It is our belief that in operating to the ISO 9001 standard, and through continued external assessment, we will be able to improve our performance and fulfil our clients’ requirements on an ongoing basis.

Our purpose and values underpin this belief:
