WA Management is a well-established Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental Management Consultancy with over 35 years’ experience offering Health & Safety Services, the implementation of Management Systems and solutions for Training Requirements, including in-person and online training.

In 2020, Opus approached WA Management for support with their ISO 9001 and 14001 Management Systems, which involved regular audits against the standards, support in addressing actions, management review meetings, Management manual maintenance, and support with assessments and surveillance visits.
They later added Health and Safety services to their bespoke retainer, enlisting WA Management’s help through health and safety audits, meetings, key documentation, and more.

On working with Opus, WA Management Director William Whittaker says:

“The team at Opus are a delight – they work well internally and with our consultants to continually manage health and safety to a high standard, and are constantly thriving for continued improvement. This is key for any business that values their management systems, and Opus’ commitment to this is reflected in their success as a business.”

Through working together, WA Management has been able to further diversify their industry knowledge, allowing them to reach a wider customer base, while WA’s support has helped Opus to achieve Health and Safety compliance and ISO certification.

In recent years Opus has achieved significant growth, expanding their operations to the extent that they have now relocated to a larger premises to keep up with the demand for their services.

They have branched into the defence, medical and off-highway industries, exhibited their enhanced services at multiple events, achieved IATF and Cyber Essentials accreditation, and were finalists at the Plastic Industry Awards!

Suzie Siddall, Managing Director at Opus International Products, says: “We have developed an excellent working relationship with WA Management. The team are great to work with and take the time to understand our business and the requirements before tailoring their support to meet our specific needs. Their collaborative approach and guidance have added real value to our business. WA Management are willing to engage at every level of the business, making what can often be complex requirements feel manageable and constructive.”
