SJB Quality Consulting

Helping businesses grow utilising innovative solutions and knowledge sharing

Hello there

Hi, my name is Simon Blackhurst and I’m the Director at SJB Quality Consulting Ltd. My ultimate goal is to help people and teams grow their business through knowledge transfer and support. I’m lucky to have worked in many industries and countries, with particular focus on FMCG, manufacturing and supply chains, QMS and accreditations plus project management.

Having grown up on a dairy farm in the North West of England and starting work at 14, I know dedication, persistence and a positive attitude are the recipe for success. I was taught to work hard and embrace each day, whilst making sure I enjoy what I do.
