BY MOSHOOD ISAMOTU / LAGOS

Haldane McCall Plc, a leading player in Nigeria’s real estate and hospitality sector, has received Quality Management System Certification- ISO 9001-2015, of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), which implies that its products and services consistently meet customer expectations.

In a letter addressed to Haldane McCall’s Group Managing Director, Edward Akinlade, by SON, the Company is authorised to use SON certification logo in all its official communications on real estate and hospitality businesses.

The certification validates the company’s adherence to globally recognized standards for quality, safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability, a development that analysts say could enhance investor confidence.

Akinlade explained that the ISO certification affirms Haldane McCall’s quality policy, which emphasises risk management, regulatory compliance, environmental and safety standards, and continuous improvement across its operations.

Industry observers note that the certification positions Haldane McCall ahead of non-certified peers, signalling operational discipline in project delivery, facilities management, and compliance. By aligning with international standards, the company is expected to reduce operational risks, strengthen governance, and enhance trust among investors and clients.

The certification coincides with strong financial performance for the fiscal year 2024. Haldane McCall reported a 109 percent year-on-year increase in revenue, a 168 percent surge in profit before tax, and a 23 percent rise in total assets, which now stand near ₦22 billion. Analysts say the combination of robust fundamentals and ISO accreditation enhances the company’s credibility and competitiveness, particularly among institutional and foreign investors seeking transparency and risk-mitigated opportunities in Nigeria’s property sector.

With the new certification, Haldane McCall is better positioned to execute its expansion plans, including large-scale affordable housing and hospitality projects, while supporting high standards of quality and governance, factors that could attract further investment in a market often unsettled by regulatory, construction-quality, and governance challenges.
