CLIENT FEEDBACK

  • “Thomas has a broad knowledge of all GXPs/Quality regulations on a global level. Thomas has an excellent eye for detail whilst executing audits and has overall high understanding of all topics which need to be covered during an audit. I have personally audited with Thomas which involved high profile contractor audits known for critical Findings and recalls. Thomas identified multiple major/critical Findings. Thomas is a skilled auditor, and he is also in the process of training as a QP. Amazing Contract Auditor.”
