Environmental affairs and QA manager

Prayon

"Binnen Prayon heeft Philip als consultant kwaliteitsprojecten geleid en operationele ondersteuning gegeven op de kwaliteitsdienst. Tijdens die periode heb ik Philip ervaren als betrouwbare collega die oplevert wat wordt gevraagd binnen afgesproken termijnen. Hij gaat hiervoor in dialoog met de verschillende stakeholders, doorgrond het probleem en komt tot een pragmatische oplossing die aanvaardbaar is voor en gedragen wordt door iedereen. Philip heeft een grondige kennis en praktische ervaring met verschillende normen in het kader van voedselveiligheid en kwaliteit. Hij is bereid deze ervaring te delen en in te zetten om verbeteringen aan te brengen. Deze verbeteringen zijn met respect voor de systemen die reeds in voegen zijn. Bij eventuele projecten of ondersteuning in de toekomst, zullen we in de toekomst Philip zeer sterk overwegen."

"Philip is a true quality professional who has a good talent to understand company stakeholders' requirements and translate this into a management system context allowing successful outcomes and stakeholder satisfaction in balance with the organizational capabilities. Philip's pragmatic and specialist understanding of quality related management standards (ISO 9001, FSSC 22000, EFISC ...) and their correct application serves as a good help and guide to company management boards to allow them to define and apply their quality policies. I have worked with Philip together as colleague in mainly food/feed business however I am convinced that Philip's skills and experience are useful regardless company's business model or its activity sector."
