Whether we’re granting UKAS-accredited certifications, delivering government-funded business improvement projects or leading on securing information from cyber attack, all of our brands have one thing in common - they’re focused on driving business resilience, efficiency and profitability.
Our Story

Our growth begins with teams in every major city in the East Midlands. We also begin delivering services for UK Trade & Investment, now the Department for International Trade
Investment plans take shape and EMB Group is formed as the holding company. Our organisational development and skills work is moved into EMB Excellence
EMB Excellence is awarded a licence to accredit organisations against the Investors in People standard across Central England
Consolidation of existing business and diversification includes creation of a UKAS ‘tick and crown’ certification business for ISO standards and the establishment of a nationwide client base
We begin delivery of our first major grant programme of behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
Growth in ISO certification is dynamic and ACM is acquired to rapidly expand our existing UK client base and take us into more than 20 international markets
With GDPR and cyber risk management at the top of everyone’s agenda we expand again with the acquisition of Ascentor
Our three core business areas of certification, risk management and advisory services are all expanding. We acquire CCAS to extend our UK ISO client base further and enter the Security Industry market
