Efficient use of everyone’s time, great suggestions and advice on potential improvements needed. Always feel like the team from QAS are there to help us improve.
The Little Bone Company
In all the craziness of the last week I have forgotten to properly thank you for the amazing job you did for me. Stock Pots went onto supermarket shelves today and the orders have been streaming in, so it’s a real buzz.
I just wanted to say a big thank you and for helping me out at short notice as a new client at what seemed like a crazy busy time for you. I look forward to working with you again soon and will be sure to recommend your services to anyone who asks.

Cynthia – you sure know how to make a girl’s day! Thank you very much for the report, for the great experience with our first audit, and for taking the time to make recommendations on the day and in the report. We will take those recommendations on board as we continue to make improvements in our systems and as we start processing. It has been quite the journey getting this new venture up and going, and it is a huge relief to have made it this far. So we are off and up and going! QAS have been with us the whole time, and we are grateful for yours, Margaret’s and Maree’s support and guidance. You are both firm and fair about the rules, as you should, and kind in the way you deliver them. You have also not left us wondering what to do next, which was hugely helpful as we do our best to find good solutions. We look forward to working with you both as we continue this journey.

To start I was apprehensive of the audit, as we had a new Auditor and the fear of not knowing. This feeling quickly faded within the first 1/2 an hour. Gina was extremely nice and professional. She looked at things in a different way and ask different questions. She was very good with our department staff as they were all extremely nervous. We had a great outcome with great learnings. As a Compliance Manager this was great.

We always enjoy Stephen’s visits, we learn a lot and he is a great communicator. The audits never feel like they are something to be scared of, more like a chance to show what we do well and learn where we can improve. Always professional. Thanks.

A forthright and probing audit that lays out where there are improvements to be made. Calm and clear communication, an efficient and courteous verifier with very broad knowledge of the industry.
Surti Indian Samosa Ltd
We are grateful and lucky to have QAS and their services. Alicia and the QAS team have a wealth of knowledge in the food industry. Their quality of service is invaluable and they are extremely friendly, clear & approachable, while holding a high level of integrity. All their feedback is constructive and helpful – always enabling us to grow. We would highly recommend QAS and their services.
Oceania Healthcare
Maree has exceeded our service expectations of an auditing agency by supporting us throughout the registration process with MPI. The process from start to completion was simplified through working with Maree and her team. QAS responds quickly and are well organised which allowed us to have our first Food Control Plan evaluated, MPI registration and 39 Verification audits within a 9 month timeframe. All the QAS auditors have been professional, knowledgeable and respectful to our staff. The audit results have been fair and reasonable with the auditors clearly explaining the reasons behind results. I highly recommend QAS for Evaluation and Verification Audits of Food Control Plans.
The Kiwi Butcher Shop
A big thank you to Maree for her assistance when I email her documents to check for new processes and to Cynthia during her verification visits.
Custom FCP’s can be daunting and difficult and both ladies are extremely helpful in a way that they help us to improve our business and our processes – we get the feeling that they genuinely care for us as a company and want to help us keep improving – rather than coming in to audit waving a big stick which has happened with other companies in years past. They are constructive with their feedback and help us navigate the changes to our industry as they arise.
Thank you to QAS, we couldn’t recommend their services highly enough.

We have found Maree’s audit service of our programme excellent and of a very high standard. Below is a list of the quality service we received:
• Professional in manner and conduct
• Approachable, easy to talk to and not intimidating, friendly
• Knowledgeable about programme requirements and outcomes
• Presentation of information. Informative, instructive, gave clear information, instructions and expectations
• Followup service. Kept us informed and up to date; available to provide help.
• Task focussed
• Worked well with other professionals and members of her team.
We found Maree’s company and her service way above the quality and standard of that provided by our previous audit company. We have much more confidence in our programme and look forward to Maree’s next audit of our programme. We highly recommend her and her business QAS. Please feel free to contact us if you feel you wish more information.

We have been working with QAS for several years now and will happily continue this important relationship. They are team of professionals with in-depth knowledge of regulations and compliance requirements and a genuine passion for best quality practices. They are highly qualified to support growth and development across different areas of the food industry. Something I really appreciate about QAS is their high level of integrity, communication, and problem-solving skills.
