CQI Teesside

The Teesside branch of the CQI serves the members of the Institute in the South Durham, North Yorkshire and Teesside areas. There are strong links with the Tyne & Wear Branch through the North East Regional Committee.

Visits and talks are arranged for the months of September through to April on a variety of subjects of interest to members. The branch meetings afford an opportunity for members to meet each other on an informal basis to discuss their common interests in the quality industry.

New members, and those who may not have attended meetings previously or for some time, are always very welcome. The committee members can be contacted for further details of the events and would be delighted to hear from you.
