What Qhse Aberdeen does

QHSE Aberdeen Limited is a privately-held ISO management system consultancy founded in 2015 and headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland. The firm, led by Directors Angela Scott and David Rusling, provides advisory, auditing, and training services to organisations implementing ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 45001 (health and safety), ISO 27001 (information security), and ISO 22000 (food safety) management systems, alongside GDPR, legal registers, ESG/carbon counting, and DSEAR compliance support. Its customer base spans energy and subsea (Sumitomo Electric, STR), engineering and manufacturing (Hendrik Veder Group), technology and IT services (Rock Flow Dynamics, prosource.it), and SMB estates (Mayen Estate), with international engagements delivered across the UK, Australia, and the United States.

The core technology offering consists of four ready-made ISO documentation toolkits — ISO 9001, ISO 14001:2026, ISO 45001, and ISO 27001:2022 — sold as digital downloads at £999 each, containing 53-75 documents per kit including manuals, procedures, registers, forms, and policies. The firm also delivers CQI & IRCA certified auditor training courses (foundation, internal auditor, lead auditor) in classroom and online formats from facilities in Aberdeen and Elgin, and offers interim/fractional QHSE manager staffing.

Revenue is generated through four streams: professional services consultancy (project-based engagements), certified training course delivery, one-time digital toolkit licences with 12 months of support, and managed interim QHSE staffing. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for consultancy and on-site training, classroom-based training delivery in North-East Scotland, and a self-serve e-commerce storefront for toolkits. The firm holds CQI & IRCA Approved Training Partner status, is recommended on UKAS Associate Consultant Programmes with eight certification body partners (ISOQAR, SGS, NQA, ARC, Lloyd's Register, BSI, DNV GL, Bureau Veritas), and obtained ELCAS approval in 2026 for funded Armed Forces training. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is self-funded with no external investment.
