When Light Forms Ltd first approached ParagonQMS in 2016, the company faced several growing pains typical of small, rapidly evolving businesses. 
The key challenges included:

Lack of a structured framework to ensure consistent product quality across diverse projects.
Difficulty scaling operations efficiently, while maintaining high standards of service and design excellence.
A need to gain competitive advantage through recognized international certifications to expand into new markets.
To address these challenges, the company recognized the importance of implementing ISO 9001, the international standard for quality management systems, as a foundation for structuring their operations.
 

ParagonQMS Ltd stepped in as a trusted partner, providing expert guidance to Light Forms Ltd from day one. Their collaborative efforts led to a phased approach tailored to the company’s unique needs and future aspirations:

​

Initial ISO 9001 Certification :
ParagonQMS worked closely with Light Forms to understand their processes and implement a bespoke quality management system. This framework helped streamline operations, eliminate inefficiencies, and reinforce their commitment to delivering consistently high-quality products.

Expansion to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 Standards:
Recognising the company’s growth trajectory, ParagonQMS supported Light Forms in implementing ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) certifications.
These standards not only aligned with the company’s environmental and safety principles but also enhanced their reputation in the marketplace.
 

Business Growth
Through the adoption of ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards, Light Forms Ltd experienced unprecedented growth. The company has evolved from a small micro-business to a thriving enterprise with global operations, including state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in the UK and Lithuania.
 

Streamlined Operations
The implementation of quality management systems allowed Light Forms to standardize processes, reducing bottlenecks and increasing efficiency. Their ability to deliver projects on time and to specification has improved significantly.
 

Enhanced Reputation
Achieving multiple ISO certifications has bolstered Light Forms’ credibility and competitiveness in the marketplace. These internationally recognized standards serve as a testament to the company’s commitment to quality, environmental stewardship, and workplace safety.
 

Increased Opportunities
With ISO certifications in place, Light Forms has opened doors to new markets and partnerships. Their ability to meet rigorous client and regulatory requirements has cemented their place as a trusted supplier of high-performance lighting solutions.

Support for Global Expansion:
When Light Forms opened a manufacturing facility in Lithuania, ParagonQMS provided critical support in extending certification to the new site. This ensured that the same high standards of quality, environmental responsibility, and employee safety were upheld across both locations.

Since 2016, ParagonQMS Ltd has remained a steadfast partner for Light Forms Ltd, providing guidance at every stage of their development. From conducting audits to maintaining compliance and delivering training programs, ParagonQMS has ensured that Light Forms continues to thrive. 
Most recently, this collaboration extended to securing ISO certifications for the Lithuanian manufacturing site, paving the way for further global expansion.
