Dawn Head Shot
Hello & Welcome

After working in a foundry for many years, our owner and founder, Dawn Banner spent 19 years at BSI as a third party auditor and later as the Product Manager for Automotive and Sustainable Events for the EMEA region.  During this time, she audited thousands of businesses against a whole host of standards and saw what good looked like and unfortunately some that were not so good!  This got her thinking about consultancy and who would be better to design a management system than someone who has seen all the pitfalls and the successes that other businesses have made and use that experience to help her clients?  It was during a round of redundancies that she finally took the plunge and New Dawn Management Ltd was born in December 2020.   Dawn still keeps her relationship with BSI to this day, as an associate consultant and trainer, and also helping them with updating their training materials to ensure they remain at the cutting edge.  She also works with other consultancy businesses, providing training and consultancy services on their behalf.

Testimonials

Hear What They Say.

“I am thrilled to share my experience working with New Dawn management (Dawn Banner) for our IATF 16949 auditing preparation. From the moment we engaged with her, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true expert. Dawn demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the IATF requirements, providing us with invaluable insights and tailored strategies to enhance our quality management system.
Dawns  comprehensive approach not only helped us identify gaps in our processes but also empowered our team with the tools and knowledge necessary for continuous improvement. Dawn  was always available to answer our questions and provide support, fostering an environment of collaboration and learning.
Thanks to her guidance, we successfully navigated the auditing process with confidence, resulting in a seamless experience and a positive outcome. We have now completed both stages of certification successfully.

I highly recommend Dawn to any organization seeking exemplary consultancy in IATF 16949 learning and preparation. Her many years of expertise is unmatched, and their commitment to our success made all the difference.

Thank you Dawn for your dedicated support through out and beyond your time with us.”

“Without Dawn’s knowledge, expertise and can-do approach I could have not have done my job. She was my “go-to” person as we worked together when new standards and certification schemes were published. Much of the widely adopted content that enabled clients to update the management systems in their businesses was thanks to Dawn’s expertise. Put simply I couldn’t have done it without her. Always a pleasure to work with too, and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Dawn!”

“There are some essential qualities that we all need to be effective in a modern business environment. If you watch Dawn and how skilfully she navigates conversations within a business or discussions with clients, it leaves you in no doubt that she has these qualities. If you then add how effective Dawn is in always being on top of the critical priorities and client needs. She leaves you in no doubt that she is an asset to any business, that wants to be highly effective. I would commend Dawn to any organisation.”

Qualifications & Experience

What Do I Know?

IATF 16949

The passport to do business within the automotive industry.  Based on the requirements of ISO9001, additional requirements have been added by the IATF (a powerful group of Automotive manufacturers and traders).  It is notoriously difficult to achieve but if you become certified to IATF 16949 you are part of an elite number of less than 500 businesses in the UK and this gives you a huge advantage over your non-certified competitors.  The standard goes hand in hand with the core tools (Control Plan, APQP, FMEA, MSA, SPC and PPAP).  As experts in this area, New Dawn Management Ltd can get you on the road to certification.

ISO 9001

The minimum level of certification for many businesses.  This demonstrates to your customers that you care about the quality of the product that you provide to them and have the systems in place to continually meet their requirements and improve your processes.  New Dawn Management Ltd can help you get to that level through expert training and consultancy.

ISO 14001

This environmental standard demonstrates to your customers that you care about your local environment and are keen to leave only a positive impact from your actions.  Demonstrating compliance can also bring down your insurance premiums with certain providers.  ISO 14001 is all about minimising waste, whether that be time, energy, materials, etc, so it should pay for itself with the cost savings it brings.  New Dawn Management Ltd can help you benefit from this.

ISO 20121

Under Dawn’s stewardship at BSI, this standard took on a new lease of life and continues to grow to this day.  Originally written to ensure that only a positive legacy remained from the London 2012 Olympics, it is used by many sporting organisations and events organisers to demonstrate their commitment to the sustainability of their events today.  New Dawn Management Ltd will help you achieve your goals.
