3core² Certification Ltd was founded in 2019 by Donn Houldsworth, our Managing Director. With extensive experience in management systems certification, Donn recognised opportunities for improvement within the industry. Motivated to address these gaps, he established 3core²  with a focus on putting the customer first.

 With the support of his dedicated team, 3core² achieved IAS (International Accreditation Service) accreditation in 2021, followed by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Services) accreditation in 2022, marking significant milestones in our journey. As we reached each milestone, we experienced rapid and sustained organic growth. To uphold our customer-first ethos, we sought out and recruited dedicated individuals to support this expansion, ensuring our clients always feel valued.

We specialise in the core ISO standards: ISO 9001 for Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management Systems, ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems and ISO 27001 for Information Security Management Systems. However, we also cover a range of other standards, and we are an accredited inspection body. We cover a wide range of technical areas, with a primary focus on sectors such as construction, basic metals and fabricated metal products, manufacturing and engineering, transport, storage and communication, information technology, security, facilities management, packaging, and various other business services.

Our customer-first principle ensures our team is always accessible to our clients. We recognise that audits can disrupt standard operations, so we strive to make the certification process as seamless and efficient as possible.
