Van Voorst Consult

What Van Voorst Consult does

Van Voorst Consult B.V. is a privately held Dutch consulting firm headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, founded in 1994, that specializes in guiding organizations through the implementation of management systems and the achievement of certifications across six regulatory domains: Quality (ISO 9001, BRL 6000, GPSR), Occupational Health & Safety (Safety Culture Ladder, VCA, VCU, ISO 45001, RI&E), Environment & CSR (ISO 14001, CO2-Prestatieladder, CSRD, MVO Prestatieladder), Food Safety (IFS, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, ISO 22000, GMP+, HACCP, NVWA compliance), Information Security (ISO 27001, NIS2, BIO, NEN 7510/7512/7513, AVG/GDPR), and Organization Advisory. The firm operates a three-tier service delivery model — Begeleiding op Hoofdlijnen (advisory), Advies en Ondersteuning (advisory with implementation support), and Volledige Ondersteuning (full outsourcing) — and additionally sells a proprietary methodology called EasyTool for mapping organizational responsibilities and processes, plus standardized translated food-safety norms in Excel format.

The company serves primarily Dutch SMB and mid-market organizations with selective enterprise and government engagements (Athlon, Kyocera, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Provincie Zuid Holland, WSD, Compass Group), spanning construction, infrastructure, ICT, services, and food verticals. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: consultation appointments ("Adviesgesprek"), phone/email outreach, a knowledge-base blog tracking regulatory developments, and customer testimonials — supplemented by approved-partner status with all leading Dutch certification bodies. The underlying technology is methodology- and template-driven rather than software-driven; there is no platform, mobile app, or API offering, and the entire service is human-delivered advisory. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the firm is self-funded with no external investors, and operating scale is anchored on a team with 342+ combined years of consulting experience, a cumulative base of 1,500–1,972+ organizations served over 30+ years, and an 8.7/10 customer satisfaction rating.
