Quality - Clarity - Control
Cottrell-Young Consultancy provides clear, structured quality support without unnecessary bureaucracy
We work with organisations that need credible quality expertise to build systems, maintain compliance, or support growth — without the overhead of a permanent quality function.
Our experience spans regulated and high-assurance environments, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 13485.
Our work reflects the same discipline and control we expect from the systems we develop
Our Philosophy
Quality should
Be proportionate to risk
Be understood by the people using it
Enable delivery, not obstruct it
We focus on practical implementation, not theory.
