Sharon Kendal who runs Blue Orange Marketing based in Codsall, has been awarded ISO 9001 certification following an assessment by an independent body. This certification is recognised world-wide.

Sharon said: "It's quite rare for a company of my size to invest in quality standards and procedures, but I wanted to mark seven years of trading and decided that ISO certification was a way to highlight the quality services we provide our clients."

Sharon set up the company in 2001 and works for a range of clients including Black Country Consortium, University of Wolverhampton, West Midlands Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership, Britpart and Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.
