SUMMARY:friday 20th march
DESCRIPTION:Note: Doors open at 7am – with sit down at 7.30am \nWe are back to our usual schedule for March\, with the meeting taking place on the third Friday of the month at our normal time and venue. \nThis month features a practical and down-to-earth presentation titled Making compliance a breeze\, delivered by Breeze Rowlands. The session is designed to take the stress out of compliance and give business owners clear\, sensible guidance they can actually use. Rather than getting lost in jargon\, the focus is on helping you feel more confident about your responsibilities and reducing risks to your customers\, your team\, your property and your information. \nThe talk will cover how different ISO management system frameworks can support businesses with simple\, repeatable steps. This includes Information Security Management (ISO 27001) for managing cyber and data risks\, Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001) for protecting staff and meeting H&S duties\, Quality Management (ISO 9001) for building reliable processes and well-trained teams\, and Environmental Management (ISO 14001) for cutting environmental impact and meeting legal requirements. \nAs always\, tea and coffee are included\, with plenty of time to network before\, during and after the meeting. If you would like something to eat\, you can choose a ticket that includes a breakfast roll for the break. \nAnyone who books online before the meeting will be entered into the monthly Business Book Giveaway\, kindly sponsored by Voice Confident. \nThis March meeting is ideal for anyone who wants clearer\, more confident control over compliance\, without the headache.
