‘UKMB have been great to work with. They are always accommodating & provide a professional & reliable service. Thank you team UKMB.’

 

Joel Lawrence

Director
Tees Valley Plastics Ltd 

‘When our original approved body ceased certification for Measuring Instruments Regulations (Module A2) UKMB were recommended to us.  

They very quickly advised us on a path forward.  We had an audit within a short period with an experienced assessor who was professional and provided us with plenty of useful information and recommendations with which have improved our operations.

I would like to thank UKMB for their professionalism and the speed with which they processed our application and I would recommend them to anyone requiring capacity control certification’.

 ‘I would like to thank UKMB for your assistance and guidance regarding the Certification for capacity serving measures.  The audit was something which we were concerned about as we had new personnel in post. UKMB made the whole process as stress-free for us as they could and the audit went successfully.  Their assistance and guidance with the whole process was very much appreciated’.

Helen Ord

‘Paul Moody and the UKMB have been extremely supportive in assisting us on our journey to become Self-verifiers within the weighing industry. From Paul’s initial call through to Phil’s audit we have felt informed and supported in this process and have been delighted with the positive attitude they have brought to the task.’

Liz Jones

Quality Manager
Go-Pak Group
“Our experience with UKMB was very positive. From the first contact, Paul was incredibly supportive, efficiently arranging the audit and keeping us updated throughout the entire process. During the audit, Brian and his team were fantastic, clearly explaining all the requirements and ensuring we understood every step. Overall, it was a great experience.”

Jeremy Sage

Managing Director
Fairweigh Limited t/a FWL
“We have just received our initial certification. UKMB have been very easy to work with and whilst being very thorough, made the process straightforward even though it was all new to us. The experience was actually very positive one rather than a burden, and several suggestions came out of the final audit that should help us improve the overall operations of our business. I would definitely recommend UKMB to anyone else considering them.”

Martin Ward

Founder
Onion Media
“I’d already had some experience with Capacity Serving Measure testing and marking but UKMB upped everything to a much higher level in terms of clarity and professionalism. From the first contact, they were very straight forward and easy to deal with. Every part of the audit process was laid out in simple, clear steps two weeks previously. The audit itself was very thorough and informative with any observations for improvement suggested and discussed. I’m very pleased with the process and the outcome.”

Julian Hope

Group Quality & Legal Metrology Manager
Herbert Retail Ltd
“I have been nothing but impressed with the UKMB’s responsiveness and professionalism. We needed to get Module D certification rapidly and within a week of our application we were audited by an experienced assessor who was fully familiar with our industry. The ensuing report was clear and concise, and the certificate issued rapidly. The whole process was quick, professional and cost effective, I would certainly recommend the UKMB for module D certifications.”

Peter McAndrew

Technical Director
Weigh Sol Ltd
“We had been chasing Module D Self Verification for years and never got there until the UKMB came along and simplified the process without diluting the standards required. We were able to achieve our accreditation in what seemed like no time at all, very pleased!”

Keith Gresham

Managing Director
Axle Weight Technology Ltd
“As the leading manufacturer of dynamic weighbridges, Axtec needed to obtain approval to self-verify instruments approved for trade. UKMB’s arrival on the scene was a refreshing change; they acted promptly and effectively to guide us through the process and progress our audit, and our approval was granted by the Secretary of State shortly afterwards; the first and only approval for self-verification of automatic road weighbridges. We were very happy with their service.”

David Astridge

General Manager Operations and Technical
Stevens Traceability Service Ltd
“I am pleased to provide a formal testimonial on behalf of Stevens Traceability Service Limited regarding our experience working with the UK Metrology Board (UKMB), as the Approved Body whilst we were working towards the Non-automatic Weighing Instruments Regulations 2016: Schedule 7 (2): Module D certification. I found the UKMB to be professional , helpful, and informative throughout the assessment process.”
