# Pennine Quality Consulting
Pennine Quality Consulting is a specialist consultancy based in Clitheroe, delivering quality management, health and safety, and environmental compliance support to manufacturing businesses across Lancashire, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
Founded by Matthew Kershaw, who brings over 20 years' experience in quality and health and safety management systems, the firm addresses a critical gap in the market: small manufacturing companies struggle with the expertise and resources needed to meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements. Rather than requiring costly in-house hires, Pennine Quality Consulting provides flexible, part-time consultancy that delivers professional competence without the overhead.
The company specialises in four core areas. Their quality management expertise covers ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 implementation, maintenance and internal auditing—crucial credentials for automotive suppliers. NEBOSH-certified consultants guide clients through occupational health and safety management, including ISO 45001 compliance and operational risk reduction. CIEH-certified environmental specialists implement ISO 14001 systems to minimise environmental impact. Additionally, their team applies lean manufacturing and six sigma methodologies to drive measurable continuous improvement.
What sets Pennine Quality Consulting apart is their intimate understanding of small manufacturers' constraints and their commitment to personal, value-added support. Rather than imposing generic solutions, they work collaboratively to build sustainable business improvements. Their track record in the automotive sector, combined with accessibility and flexibility, makes them an ideal partner for businesses seeking practical compliance and competitive advantage.
