We are proud to introduce Jeanette Wessen of Next Step Compliance as a valued member of our Action for BPAN Business Club.
About Next Step Compliance
Next Step Compliance was built to support small and growing businesses across Kent who want clear, practical ISO and compliance support without unnecessary complexity.
At the moment, my little consultancy consists of just one person.
I am Jeanette Wessen, an ISO consultant working with organisations seeking certification to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, as well as businesses maintaining and improving existing systems. I also provide support with SSIP, BRCGS and wider health and safety management systems.
I work primarily with Kent based SMEs who want a management system that works in real life, not just on paper.
My Approach
Compliance should not feel overwhelming or overly corporate.
Many businesses care deeply about quality, safety and environmental responsibility. What they often need is someone who can translate standards into clear, practical actions that fit the way they already operate.
That is where I add value.
I build systems that are: –
• Practical and proportionate
• Aligned to your day to day operations
• Designed to stand up to certification audits
• Sustainable long term
You work directly with me throughout the process. No layers, no generic templates that do not fit your business, no unnecessary jargon.
Why My Background Makes a Difference
Before moving into consultancy, I built a career in education, gaining a PGCE in Food Education and Design and Technology and over ten years of teaching experience, including leadership as a Head of Department.
That experience shapes how I work with clients today.
ISO standards can be technical and dense. I am highly experienced in breaking down complex information into clear, manageable steps. I do not just develop procedures and hand them over. I ensure you and your team understand what is required, why it matters and how it applies to your business.
A management system only works if it is understood and embedded. My background means I focus on clarity, structure and helping teams feel comfortable and prepared, particularly when facing third party audits.
A Long Term Partner
Many of my clients choose to work with me on an ongoing basis for independent internal audits and continued support. I aim to build long term relationships based on trust, clarity and results.
If you are a Kent based business looking to achieve or maintain ISO certification, I would be pleased to support your next step.
