A quality award is not normally something you’d associate with a creative agency, but here at OWB it’s been a stalwart in our accreditation cabinet for over 10 years for very good reason – and it’s something we’d recommend to all businesses!
There are some things you just have to have to be able to deliver your services, for example, GDPR compliance, trade body registrations, specific insurances to name a few, but at OWB we’ve also recognised the importance of a couple more accreditations that often get overlooked by our industry – Investor in People status and certified to ISO 9001 status.
IIP is great for a business – it goes without saying that looking after your most valued assets is vital and every business should strive for Investor in People. But a quality award is often overlooked outside the manufacturing industry. So why should you consider a quality award for your business?
We advocate any business gaining such accreditations for; increasing efficiency and productivity across the scope of the business, ensuring smoother operations and identifying gaps in processes, so that we can reassure clients that they will consistently receive a high quality service – which has in fact has helped us to win new business!
The likes of qualifications such as this and FSQS provide OWB with independent audit of our working practices and a level of compliance and regulation that the marketing communications we design and deliver for our financial services clients is robust, positioned effectively and cognisant of regulations. FSQS has also given us an opportunity for other financial institutions to see our profile with the potential of future business.
