Albion Environmental Ltd management have taken the proactive step of identifying the need to develop & streamline their existing business practices to ensure they continue to be a lead player in their industry. The decision to apply for certification to BS EN ISO9001 :2000 and BS EN ISO14001 :2004 will ensure the future growth of the company and the inevitable changes to work practices that will occur, will be incorporated in the quality and environmental management systems thereby allowing them to meet legislative changes and their own customers’ perception of "quality" issues head on. A consultancy company, Granger’s Consultancy Services, has been contracted to assist both company’s design, implement and develop a quality management system to meet the requirements of both BS EN ISO9001 :2000 and BS EN ISO14001 :2004. Its Managing Director, Mr. Derek Granger MBE stated "It is an exciting time for both companies in pursuing such a venture and for Granger’s Consultancy Services in being chosen to oversee this transition". Management of both companies also see this venture as being instrumental in promoting their "Customer Care" policy through the enhancement and building of relationships with their Customers and providing a quality service second to none.
