Meet The Team

QIA Services Team

A quick hello from Deborah, our CEO

We are proud and inspired by the variety of our work at QIA Services. We are essentially Service Sector focussed, delivering Assessment, Accreditation and Verification and a combination of these things through our specialist software, customer service team and field-based assessment team.

Our multi-sector portfolio means there are always lessons to be learnt and best practice to be shared across our work. Many clients find the diversity intriguing and are always keen to learn about the perspectives of other industries, as well as the common ground.


We have a core staff base delivering our various contracts and B2B assessments across sectors and specialists that add incredible value to our work, and an amazing set of advisors on hand. I am incredibly proud to work with this group of talented individuals and the support staff that ensure we get our delivery right each time.
