Triple accreditation success for All in Property
All in Property, the UK’s largest independent contracting firm in the repossession and property recycling industry, has obtained three new accreditations - a first for a business in its sector.
The ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard were undertaken six months ago and all successfully completed within the past month.
ISO 9001 relates to ‘quality’ to ensure a firm is providing the highest service and quality levels possible. OHSAS 18001 is an internationally recognised assessment specification for occupational health and safety management systems and ISO 14001 includes all aspects of environmental issues from ensuring sub-contractors are tipping as per current legislation, through to reducing the business’s carbon footprint.
All in Property believes that obtaining these accreditations will be well received by its lender and asset manager clientele, especially their compliance teams, as this is evidence that they are engaging a company which operates under recognised professional standards and is committed to best practice such as ‘business continuity planning’.
John Boardman, managing director of All in Property, said: “It’s been a very busy six months for the company to obtain the highest accreditation standards in our sector. We believe that it is essential that professional standards within our industry are constantly being developed and improved. We believe that every contracting firm should be working towards these accreditations.
"We work with a host of lenders and asset managers and when dealing with properties under their control we are very aware that we are acting as their representatives and agents; therefore their reputation and brand is in our hands and it is of paramount importance that we mimic and comply in the same way that they have to under statute and compliance.
"Ensuring that we are accredited allows our clients to have the utmost faith in the service that we provide as a company.”
Steve Acaster, litigation manager at HSBC commented: “Ensuring that our suppliers operate within the highest professional standards is, and always will be, of paramount importance to us and we commend All in Property for obtaining these accreditations.”
