Strategic oversight with practical implementation
MKJ Assurance is an independent, founder-led consultancy helping organisations navigate complex regulatory requirements, strengthen governance frameworks, improve operational performance and achieve compliance with recognised standards.
We combine strategic oversight with hands-on implementation. That means advice you can act on, systems your teams will actually use, and assurance that stands up to scrutiny from clients, regulators and certification bodies alike. Every engagement is proportionate, commercially focused and tailored to the size and complexity of your organisation.
Whether you need to achieve ISO certification, strengthen contractor assurance, meet CDM duties or build resilience, you work directly with an experienced professional — not an account manager.
Practical answers to real compliance pressures
Most organisations come to us with one of these challenges. If any sound familiar, we can help.
Preparing for ISO certification
You need to achieve or maintain ISO certification but don't have the in-house time or expertise to build and run the management system.
Managing contractor assurance
Work is delivered through contractors and supply chains across multiple sites, and you need consistent oversight that risk and compliance are being managed.
Meeting CDM and construction duties
Your projects carry duties under CDM and you want confidence those responsibilities are understood and properly discharged.
Keeping systems effective between audits
Your management system exists on paper but drifts between audits, and you want it to stay live, useful and certification-ready.
Responding to client and tender requirements
Customers, regulators or tenders are demanding evidence of compliance, safety and governance you can't currently produce with confidence.
Building resilience and continuity
You need to understand your critical activities and put realistic, tested plans in place so the organisation can withstand disruption.

Common questions
A few of the questions we're most often asked. If yours isn't here, just get in touch.
Do I actually need a consultant?
Many organisations have the intent to manage compliance well but lack the time or specialist experience to do it efficiently. We bring that experience, help you avoid common pitfalls and leave you with systems your team can run — so you get to a good outcome faster and with less disruption.
Which standards and areas do you support?
We support integrated management systems across ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) and ISO 22301 (business continuity), alongside health and safety compliance, CDM and construction, contractor assurance, business continuity and ESG.
How long does it take to achieve certification?
It depends on your starting point, the size of your organisation and how ready your existing arrangements are. Following a gap analysis we'll give you a realistic timeline and a prioritised plan, rather than an off-the-shelf promise.
Do you work with organisations of our size?
Yes. We tailor support to the size and complexity of each organisation, from growing contractors to established businesses. The approach is always proportionate — never more process than the situation needs.
Are you independent?
Yes. MKJ Assurance provides independent, objective advice. We are not tied to any certification body, so our recommendations are made in your interest and the interest of your stakeholders.
Where do you work?
We support organisations across the UK, combining on-site work where it adds value with remote support to keep engagements efficient and cost-effective.
How do we get started?
The first step is a conversation. Tell us about your organisation, project or compliance challenge and we'll set out how we can help and what a sensible next step looks like — with no obligation.
