About

Stuart Montrose, ISO Consultant

Founded in 2016 by Stuart Montrose, Pinnacle Thistles’ ethics revolve around the need to provide our clients with an effective service. This emanates from a shared desire for our clients to achieve certification, and for them to achieve the benefits out of having a robust management system.

Stuart is an experienced ISO practitioner with many years under his belt. Throughout his career, Stuart has worked in various engineering, aerospace and oil & gas positions and gradually moved into operations and management. Working from Aberdeen to London, Stuart has implemented and maintained quality management systems for various types of organisations from engineering to manufacturing to software development & apps. Through his experience Stuart has applied ISO systems into a very broad spectrum of commercial and industrial sectors.

To round off his education and understanding of the ISO accreditation & maintenance process, Stuart has recently spent a number of years working as an External Lead ISO Auditor for two leading certification bodies, British Standards Institute and British Assessment Bureau.
