Built around you, not just templates
We don't hand over a folder of documents and walk away. First, we learn what matters to you and how you work, then we cut through the noise, guide you step by step, and stand with you through every audit. The result is a management system that fits your business, not a generic template you have to bend yourself around.
With a history of successful certifications and zero findings, compliance becomes something that wins deals and unlocks growth, not a box-ticking exercise. When your customers and investors ask the hard questions, you'll have the answers ready.
Supporting startups, scaleups and small business across Devon and London.
Who we are?
We're a Devon-based ISO consultancy with our South West office in Hatherleigh, near Okehampton, and a second office in London. We work hands-on with startups and scaleups right across Devon, from Exeter and Plymouth to the north of the county, as well as remotely throughout the UK. Being local means we can sit alongside your team in person when it counts, not just dial in for the audit.
There's a reason we work this way. Before founding TQC, Damien Tiller spent years as a VP of Quality and Compliance, and kept seeing the same problem: smaller companies were being sold heavyweight, enterprise-style management systems that buried them in process they didn't need. He left to close that gap, bringing senior-level quality and compliance expertise to startups in a form that actually fits how they work.
Testimonials from customers we've helped
"We first worked with Tiller Quality Consulting for an internal audit and immediately knew we’d found a partner we could trust. We then brought them back for ISO 9001 certification, and with their help, passed with no findings at all. Now, for the third time, they’re helping us strengthen our governance with GxP and ISO 27001.
Each time, TQC has impressed us with their practical approach, deep expertise, and genuine care for our success. They truly feel like an extension of our team, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them"
Archie Galbraith - Senior Operations Manager
"Tiller Quality Consulting took us from informal information security policies to a no-findings ISO certification success in 8 months. This simply wouldn’t have been possible without Damien. His support at every stage was indispensable, and we now have a robust infosec machine firing on all cylinders that we are truly confident in."
Chesney Ovsiowitz - Founders Associate
"Tiller Quality Consulting helped us build the right compliance foundations for our size and stage. Damien is clear, pragmatic, and current on what actually matters, and he translates regulatory requirements into plain language rather than jargon. The work was hands-on throughout, and we now have controls that match the business rather than getting in the way of it. I would highly recommend Damien as a vCISO to help guide any startup's compliance journey."
Hector Camm - Founder
"Tiller Quality Consulting gave us what every early-stage startup needs but rarely gets: pragmatic, applied IT security advice. Rather than handing us an overwhelming checklist, he looked closely at our actual contracts and obligations, then built a clear roadmap to meet them in a practical and secure way"
Adrian Ochs - Founder
"With Tiller Quality Consulting’s help, we successfully passed a supplier assessment that was critical to our business. Damien's speed, clarity, and hands-on guidance made the process smooth and effective. For small teams looking for expert support without unnecessary overhead, I can highly recommend him."

"Tiller Quality Consulting joined when we had literally 1 SOP. That SOP wasn't fit for the purpose, so it quickly became zero. Four months later, we were certified for ISO 9001 and 27001 with no findings. We now have an incredible eQMS, and a ton of successful audits under our belt."
Meri Beckwith - Co-CEO
"We recently worked with Tiller Quality Consulting to prepare for our ISO 9001 Stage 1 and 2 audit, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. With a very quick turnaround, their consultant guided us through the process and helped us achieve certification.
TQC’s knowledge, professionalism, and structured approach gave us clarity and confidence from start to finish. They quickly pinpointed where we needed to improve, offered practical solutions, and kept us on track under tight timescales.
We would highly recommend TQC to any business looking for expert support in achieving ISO certification."
Ian Hooper - Managing Director, Founder and Owner
'Working with Tiller Quality Consulting, with Craig as our Data Protection Officer has been a huge relief. They made something complex feel straightforward and manageable. We always felt supported and in safe hands, and now we’re confident we’re doing things the right way.'
