When Carol worked at Edgecumbe, the site had a group of internal auditors to help us meet the requirements for our customers and the ISO Quality Standards . A regular internal audit programme was in place and Carol was a key part of the audit team.

Carol was always well prepared , objective & thorough in her approach. She went through the requirements in detail comparing what we were doing with what the standard required.

Carol is a very detailed person who is focused on the outcome and not easily led off-topic. She has conducted numerous audits in the plants I have ran and has always added value in terms of systems and process improvements. I highly recommend Carol as an auditor.

Carol Cullen was a member of our internal quality audit team in the early 1990’s. Our business was the supply of specialised milk products to the international dairy food ingredient business. Carol participated effectively in this team for more than 3 years. Her specialist skills were food safety, technical aspects of milk composition and laboratory test processes. She was a competent member of the audit team.
