Welcome to Hillscom
ISO 9001 & AS9100 Consultants | UK-Wide | Aerospace, Defence & Manufacturing
Welcome to Hillscom, ISO 9001 and AS9100 consultants based in Wiltshire UK, supporting organisations across the UK with practical, results-driven ISO consultancy. We have built Hillscom on over 30 years of hands-on experience in quality management, working directly within manufacturing, engineering, aerospace, defence and other highly regulated sectors. This experience underpins every engagement we deliver, ensuring clarity, structure and a strong focus on measurable business improvement.
We do not provide generic consultancy. Every organisation operates within its own challenges, risks and regulatory obligations. We take the time to understand how your business operates, identify the gaps that matter, and define a clear route to improvement. Whether you require support with ISO 9001, AS9100 or ISO 27001, we deliver a structured and practical pathway to certification that aligns with your operational objectives.
Our experience spans Automotive, Aerospace, Defence, Telecoms and Oil & Gas industries. This enables us to apply proven, sector-relevant approaches that perform in demanding environments where compliance, risk management and operational control are critical. We focus on developing management systems that not only meet ISO standards but also improve efficiency, strengthen governance and support long-term performance.
Adopting a practical approach to ISO consultancy, with a strong emphasis on implementation rather than theory. We work closely with your teams to develop processes that are practical, embedded and fully understood across the organisation. From initial gap analysis through to certification and ongoing support, we ensure your management system works effectively in practice, not just on paper.
Hillscom supports organisations that expect more than certification. We help businesses build robust, sustainable management systems that drive continual improvement, reduce risk and create a strong foundation for growth and operational excellence.

ISO 9001:2026 Revised Standard
The ISO 9001 standard is undergoing its next scheduled revision, with the updated version expected to be published in 2026. This update replaces ISO 9001:2015 and reflects how organisations now operate in a more digital, risk-aware, and sustainability-focused environment. The revision does not redefine quality management principles; instead, it strengthens clarity, improves consistency, and aligns the standard with modern business expectations.
Organisations certified to ISO 9001:2015 do not need to rebuild their Quality Management System (QMS). However, they must prepare for targeted enhancements that influence leadership accountability, risk management, and organisational context.
What ISO 9001:2026 Brings to Quality Management
The revised standard retains the familiar structure based on Annex SL, ensuring continuity across integrated management systems. However, several important refinements strengthen the effectiveness of existing requirements.
A key development involves greater emphasis on quality culture and ethical leadership. Top management must demonstrate stronger behavioural commitment to quality outcomes, ensuring that culture aligns with policy and strategic direction.
The standard also improves clarity around risk and opportunity management. Organisations must define, separate, and manage risks and opportunities more explicitly, ensuring consistency in planning and decision-making processes.
Another important change integrates climate-related considerations into organisational context. Businesses must assess whether environmental and climate factors influence their QMS and demonstrate how they respond where relevant. This aligns quality management with broader sustainability expectations.
The revision also improves guidance within Annex A, reducing ambiguity that previously led to inconsistent audit interpretations across certification bodies.
