Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 310 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the professional staff for their helpful guidance, clear explanations, and friendly approach during all annual audits. Consumers note that the service is extremely well organized, making the entire certification journey remarkably smooth, very understandable, and completely stress-free from start to finish. However, some people mentioned concerns regarding long-term contractual commitments and commercial terms. A few reviewers also felt that the overall experience ended poorly due to heavy selling practices, limited ongoing support, or unexpected business contract conditions that felt restrictive, rigid, and ultimately unfair.

A successful 3 days of ISO Assessments

We have recently completed three successful days of ISO assessments carried out by one of Citation’s assessors. Although Douro appeared extremely thorough, he was very approachable and provided valuable, professional feedback throughout the process.
The assessments ran smoothly, and we felt comfortable reaching out to Douro at any point during the assessment days whenever we had questions.

We had a very positive experience with our Auditor Simon Langston during our ISO 9001 audit. He was extremely easy to get on with and approached the audit in a friendly and professional manner, which helped put myself at ease from the very beginning. Simon made the entire process feel straightforward and manageable, clearly explaining requirements and guiding me through each stage. His approachable style, friendly manner and clear communication made a real difference to the overall experience. We would be delighted to have him again for our next review.

An impressive, professional and productive external audit

George Craig conducted a great external audit. He made what can often be an onerous process interesting, insightful and positive. He made it particularly beneficial through his deep understanding of the ISO27001:2022 standard and clear, pertinent insights regarding ways to improve our information security.

We have used Citation for our ISO…9001

We have used Citation for our ISO Certification for over 11 years now, and I cannot speak highly enough of the service. Our auditor, Caitlin Wevill, was brilliant. It was a pleasure to work with her. She was very clear on all communication, explained very well what was required and was very patient with us providing her all required documents and examples.

Recent ISO9001:2015 audit with Colin

We recently completed our ISO 9001:2015 audit with Mr Colin Turley and were thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and expertise. His structured approach to evidence gathering ensured a smooth process, while his actionable feedback throughout the audit was both insightful and constructive. My Operations Director and I greatly appreciated his clear communication and commitment to helping us improve.

I had an exceptional experience working with Alexandra throughout the ISO certification process. Their knowledge, professionalism, and clear guidance made everything straightforward and stress-free. They took the time to explain every step, answered all my questions, and ensured I fully understood what was required.
Thanks to their support, the certification process went smoothly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert ISO guidance.

We recently completed our ISO audit over two days and are pleased to say we passed successfully. The entire process was smooth and well-structured, which really helped put the team at ease.

A special mention goes to our auditor, Simon Langston, who was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive throughout. He took the time to explain everything clearly and offered helpful suggestions for improvements we can implement ahead of next year’s audit.

Overall, a very positive experience, and we feel well-prepared moving forward. Thank you for the guidance and support Simon.

Audit Appointment

Simon Langston completed an audit for our ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications, and I wanted to take the opportunity to recognise the quality of his work.

From the outset, Simon demonstrated a highly professional and structured approach, ensuring the audit process was both thorough and well organised. His depth of knowledge across both standards was evident throughout, and he was able to challenge constructively while remaining pragmatic and supportive.

What stood out in particular was his ability to engage with stakeholders at all levels, creating an environment that was both collaborative and focused. Rather than simply assessing compliance, Simon provided valuable insight and guidance that will help us continue to strengthen and mature our processes.

Overall, the audit was conducted efficiently, with clear communication throughout, and in a manner that added genuine value to the business. A very positive experience and one we would be happy to repeat in future.

Our first audit - exceeded expectations!

Our first audit, conducted by Colin Turley, was the opposite of what I was expecting. I was expecting an intense session, with someone try to catch me out, instead what we had was a friendly auditor, who supported us through the process and really put me an ease (even making a few jokes along the way!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Citation or Colin to anyone else, and hope to see Colin at a future audit!

We have just completed our first ISO…

We have just completed our first ISO audit on Thursday 26th March 2026, with Alex Misovicova as our consultant, and she was truly amazing.

From start to finish, Alex was kind, friendly, and positive. She explained everything clearly and made the process easy to follow, which gave us great confidence throughout.

She always focused on the positives, highlighting what we are doing well. She also provided helpful guidance on how we can improve further, which felt very supportive. Her approach made the audit experience feel constructive and encouraging.

She was so professional, well-organised, and respectful. It’s refreshing to work with someone who genuinely cares about helping organisations improve.

It was such a very positive experience. We would be more than happy to work with Alex again and would gladly request her as our auditor in the future, and would recommend her.
