Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Implementing and Managing Multiple ISOs with Ben Moulds from Whistl
Q: Have you got any top tips for managing ISO?
Be clear in your approach with bespoke documentation tailored to Whistl's operations, plan audits well in advance to avoid peak periods, prioritize high-risk areas, and don't be afraid to challenge auditors where appropriate to gain a holistic view of compliance.
Implementing and Managing Multiple ISOs with Ben Moulds from Whistl
Q: What other benefits have you found having the multiple ISOs?
The standards underpin legal and regulatory compliance and support commercial opportunities, especially with clients prioritizing ESG and cybersecurity; the integrated approach improves coherence across the management system, enabling better cross-functional understanding and more efficient audits.
Implementing and Managing Multiple ISOs with Ben Moulds from Whistl
Q: So I know you kind of already touched on this a little bit, but how has having an ISO consultant helped you guys?
Three consultants have brought varied perspectives and expertise while maintaining a consistent audit approach; their on-site insights across departments help Whistl learn and improve, keeping audits fresh and ensuring continual alignment with each standard.
Implementing and Managing Multiple ISOs with Ben Moulds from Whistl
Q: So going straight into the ISO journey, can you tell us the starting point with ISOs and then your journey into it as well?
Whistl started with ISO 9001, then expanded to ISO 45001 and more, driven by client demand and social responsibility goals. Over time they added environmental and energy standards (ISO 14001 and ISO 50001) and information security (ISO 27001), building a five-standards framework that now forms a comprehensive management system; the journey was guided by internal growth and external audits, with a shift to a more integrated approach overseen by the risk, assurance, and compliance team.
Understanding IATF 16949: The Automotive Quality Standard Explained with Gary Beales
Q: What does the upgrade process from ISO 9001 to IATF 16949 look like, and can a company run 9001 and 16949 in parallel?
The upgrade is not stand-alone; it's a supplement to 9001 and begins with eligibility verification, purchasing the IATF standard, gap analysis, training, documentation updates, internal audits, and a phased certification process. It can be run in parallel with ISO 9001 if the client's market and tenders require it, but many choose to run only IATF 16949 if their business is predominantly automotive to streamline audits and costs.
