Quality
back to topSuch Salinger Peters Ltd was formed in October 1998 following an increase in Civil Engineering Consulting capabilities as a result of growing partner and staff numbers. The company had previously traded as Such Salinger Partnership Ltd, commencing operations in 1984.

In order to achieve this, the company has developed a Quality Management System (QMS), which conforms to the requirements of ISO 9001 as well as applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
The Consultancy is committed to a policy of continuous improvement in all areas of its operations. Such Salinger Peters is also committed to the continual improvement of the QMS and in meeting the quality requirements of the Consultancy's existing and future clients.
The Consultancy's Quality Policy sets the framework for selected objectives and targets. These objectives and targets are planned, implemented and maintained in order to improve not only the QMS but also the services supplied by the Consultancy.
The QMS reflects and supports the best management and operational practices within the company and is consistent with all its operating policies and procedures. The System's procedures etc are designed to formalise the company's working practices, rather than impose additional or contradictory requirements.
All employees are responsible for the quality of their own work and for compliance with all requirements of the QMS, together with any related Works Instructions.
