Client Testimonial

"When we started out on the journey to get our air source heat pumps MCS Accredited, the whole process and regime was new and relatively untried.  We needed support to tackle the process and advice was hard to find.  Fortunately, we were advised to talk with NQA and the response was far better than we ever expected - open, helpful and knowledgeable.  NQA was incredibly patient with us and took us through the MCS accreditation process from start to finish - the MCS team has been a real pleasure to deal with and has always "gone the extra mile" for us. Three years on, we are still receiving the same comprehensive and helpful service and the cost of the service and support that we receive is, genuinely, excellent value for money.  It is fair to say that, without the excellent service and support that has been provided over the last 3 years by NQA, we would not have the rapidly growing and highly respected business that we now have - a business that is built upon a company policy of "Quality First", with NQA being instrumental in, and at the heart of, delivering on that commitment.  We have no hesitation in recommending NQA's services to any company that is serious about delivering the highest quality products and services to its own customers." Harold Wilson, Earth Save Products Ltd.

"Tozzi Nord S.r.l chose NQA to gain MCS Product Approval for our Wind Turbine, we had a very strict timescale in which we needed to get this product approved and in spite of some minor setbacks and delays getting the required documentation together NQA got our product approved in the timescale required. The NQA auditor had a broad technical knowledge making the audit process a smooth one, and we found the office staff to be very focused on our goals, prompt in dealing with our queries and helpful in finding ways to achieve this for us. This has been a learning experience for us and we will be happy to use NQA again should be have any further products we wish to get approval for in the future." Giampaolo Cimatti, General Manager, Tozzi NORD S.r.l
