Our Company

Our Philosophy

At Cavendish Scott, we believe that helping a company implement a quality or environmental standard is not simply about earning certification.

Working closely with clients, we take a practical approach: we design systems that improve efficiency and meet the needs of the client, not just the standard. We keep systems and documentation as simple and accessible as possible, and we provide hands-on familiarization and training. Knowing how important ownership is to the process, we involve all key personnel in decisions and design, whether we write the documentation or we simply fine-tune what the client generates. The close relationship that our consultants build with clients also provides the ideal environment to learn more about the standards being implemented, something which just cannot be taught from books or seminars.

Our Heritage

England was the country that nurtured the development of BS 5750 and BS 7750, early and important precursors to ISO 9000 and ISO 14000. It was there that businesses grew comfortable with the concept of formalized management systems. And it was in England that Cavendish Scott, Inc. was formed in 1985 to help businesses implement and benefit from these systems.

Firmly rooted in England, Cavendish Scott expanded to the United States in early 1994. Here, the objective remained the same: to help American businesses implement formalized management systems and realize their benefits. Today, with offices that span the United States, Cavendish Scott is uniquely positioned to provide expert quality and environmental systems consulting services both locally and affordably.

In addition to our impressive longevity in the quality and environmental systems consulting business, we at Cavendish Scott also take a unique approach to the business itself: we use teams of full time, well-trained consultants; we guarantee our services; and we work for a fixed fee. To our clients, this means faster certification, reduced project costs, and systems that meet their business needs and not just those of the standard. Clients can expect all of the benefits inherent in a well-crafted quality or environmental system, but with the least possible amount of internal time and effort.
