Amtivo Group

What Amtivo Group does

Amtivo Group is a UK-headquartered, privately held certification body founded in 2018 and backed by Charterhouse Capital Partners, with additional growth capital from Audax Strategic Capital received in September 2024. The company delivers accredited third-party management system certification services — primarily ISO standards (9001, 14001, 27001, 45001, 22301, 42001, 13485, 50001) and sector-specific schemes (AS9100/9110/9120 for aerospace, IATF 16949 for automotive, R2v3/RIOS/e-Stewards for electronics recycling, Cyber Essentials, and UK government-backed schemes such as SSIP and TrustMark) — alongside professional training courses and proprietary technology-enabled service delivery. Its technology backbone is the Amtivo Connect CRM platform, which manages the full certification lifecycle including audit scheduling, nonconformity tracking, document management, and client self-service for over 36,000 live certificates worldwide.

The company operates across 27 countries through wholly owned subsidiaries and operating brands, including British Assessment Bureau (UK, rebranding to Amtivo by 2026), Amtivo USA (Arvada, Colorado; consolidating former Orion Registrar, ASR, CMA, Audit3, QSR and ISA entities), and local entities in Ireland, Italy, Norway, China and Japan. Revenue is generated through a multi-year contract model: initial stage 1 and stage 2 certification audits, annual surveillance audits, and triennial recertification, with quote-based pricing scaled to client size, site count, and management system scope. Training services (ISO implementation, internal auditor, IOSH safety, in-house courses) contribute supplementary professional services revenue.

Amtivo has grown almost entirely through acquisition since founding — completing at least seven deals between 2021 and 2025 (Certification Europe, Dovre Sertifisering, InfoSaaS, Orion Registrar, Advantage International Registrar, Advanced Certification, American Systems Registrar, CMA Quality International, QSR, Audit3, and ISA) — alongside a brand consolidation programme to unify all entities under the Amtivo identity. Recent leadership additions include CEO Caroline Plumb, US President Randy Daugharthy (ex-Bureau Veritas, ex-PRI), and Chief Technology and Product Engineering Officer Luke Elliott, signalling continued organisational scaling alongside the M&A programme.
