Temple QMS

ISO 9001:2026 lands on 16 September.

For anyone running a QMS, that’s not a small thing.

It’s the first major revision in years to the world’s most widely recognised quality management system standard.

We don’t know the full detail yet. Nobody outside ISO does.

We’ll tell you plainly what’s changed, what matters, and what you actually need to do about it.

No jargon. No unnecessary complexity. Just practical guidance on what matters, when it matters.

Save the date. More soon.

🚨 Big news for UK employers.

From 1 August 2026, investing in young talent becomes even more affordable.

The Government has announced that once you've exhausted your Apprenticeship Levy, it will fully fund the remaining training and assessment costs for eligible apprentices aged under 25.

It's part of a wider initiative to create 50,000 new youth apprenticeships and help employers tackle skills shortages while developing the workforce of the future.

For businesses across manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, quality management and fire safety, this is an excellent opportunity to invest in people while reducing training costs.

At Temple Quality Management Systems, we support employers with apprenticeships including:

✔ Level 2 Supply Chain Warehouse Operative
✔ Level 3 Supply Chain Practitioner
✔ Level 4 Quality Practitioner
✔ Level 3 Fire Safety Advisor

Whether you're planning for growth, improving operational performance or developing your next generation of skilled professionals, there's never been a better time to review your apprenticeship strategy.

Could the UK's biggest skills reform in decades help solve manufacturing's recruitment challenge?

The Government has announced plans to introduce technical education pathways from age 14, giving young people earlier exposure to engineering, manufacturing, digital and construction careers.

For employers, it's an encouraging step towards building a stronger future workforce.

But classroom learning is only one part of the journey.

High-quality apprenticeships remain one of the most effective ways to develop skilled, work-ready professionals who can contribute from day one.

In our latest blog, we explore what the reforms mean for employers and how Temple supports businesses through apprenticeships in:

✔ Supply Chain & Warehousing
✔ Supply Chain Practitioner
✔ Quality Practitioner
✔ Fire Safety Advisor
