Who We Are

Clark Quality Consulting (CQC) is a consortium of quality, environmental and management professionals with an extensive background in applying the tools of the trade. All associates have come from positions where they have effectively applied the principles and practices of the quality, environmental and management sciences. They are experts in their fields with the credentials to back it up.

Associates - "Webster's"® defines consortium as "an agreement, combination, or group (as of companies) formed to undertake an enterprise beyond the resources of any one member". As we all can't be experts in all things, CQC has associated itself with many fine professionals that bring their own specific knowledge and experience to the group. This allows us to offer exceptional service to our clients and ensures that our team can assist you with a wide range of consulting and training needs. For further information on our associates please contact Client Services.
