Rolls-Royce
In 1998, Dr David Orton, the newly appointed Director Quality Audit identified a need to ensure that quality auditing within the Rolls-Royce Group was conducted to the highest possible standard. As the process owner for internal quality auditing for the Group worldwide, he recognized the value an external training provider could bring to the table.
He approached LRQA to develop a series of in-company training events for delivery to its lead auditors and auditors within the UK. An important consideration was that the courses should support the achievement of external auditor registration to IRCA standard or national equivalent.
