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.
