We have been at this since 2013. Still enjoying it.

QFactorial is a family-run consultancy based in Basingstoke, UK. We help science and technology start-ups and SMEs to improve their quality and sustainability. We do this by creating strategies and management systems that work. Simples, innit?

Where did QFactorial come from?

We know you’re dying to ask: where on earth did ‘QFactorial’ come from? Well, there was much cogitation about the nature of quality and the countless factors at play when striving for it. In maths, a factorial number is the product of all numbers preceding it, expressed as n!. It was only a few pints after that eureka moment that “Q! = QFactorial” was born. Don’t worry, this level of nerdism only occurs in the pub.
