Bryan Research has DEEP roots in manufacturing.
Our founder began his career in quality in 1989, becoming qualified as a QMS auditor for BS 5750 (the precursor to ISO 9000) and working on government funded contracts to implement QMS in manufacturers in the UK in a wide spectrum of industries from printing to industrial solvent recovery.
