IMS International
IMS International was first established in 1994 and gained UKAS Accreditation in 1998 for a limited number of scopes. In 2001 the current management of IMS took over the running and ownership of the company. It was decided that a controlled expansion was essential in order to fully meet with the IMS philosophy to deliver a worldwide, value-added service without compromise. This has been achieved by careful planning and re-investment of time and finances. |
