This follows a six month process of GAP analysis and preparation for the Stage 1 audit, which was held in December, followed by the Stage 2 audit in February.

The certificate covers the supply of skilled road maintenance machine operators, asphalt surfacing and road planingservices, together with the maintenance and repair of plant, equipment and vehicles.

Managing director Darren Stokes received confirmation of the company’s OHSAS 18001 status earlier this month and commented: “We look to operate at the very highest standards across the whole business and so we are really pleased to have been recognised with this certificate. Thanks to everyone involved for a great effort all round.”
