ISO14001

Sustainability has long been a part of Fews Marquees’ DNA, and ISO14001 accreditation was a natural progression for the business. Many processes were already in place, but this step ensured particular focus on our environmental footprint.

ISO 9001

ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). We use the standard to demonstrate our ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.

Because ISO 9001 specifies the requirements for an effective quality management system, we find that using the standard helps us:- Organize a quality management system (QMS) – Create satisfied customers, management, and employees – Continually improve our processes – Save costs.

CHAS Elite Accredited Contractor

CHAS (Contractor Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is a health and safety accreditation scheme, primarily for the construction industry and often acts as a type of pre-qualification during the tender process.

It is one of a number of health and safety assessment schemes available to businesses and is probably the most well known and one of the first third-party accreditation schemes in the construction sector.

The purpose of CHAS is to help both buyers and suppliers in the assessment of health and safety competence. Helping buyers by reducing the lengthy process of assessing contractors health and safety standards individually.

Helping contractors by reducing the time-consuming process of completing and submitting full details of health and safety processes on each project they compete for.

Safe Contractor

Alcumus Safe Contractor is a third party accreditation scheme that assesses the health and safety arrangements, policies and qualifications of contractors. Many major clients recognise the scheme and accept the Safe Contractor certificate as confirmation of competency in health and safety practice.

Under the SafeContractor scheme, businesses undergo a vetting process which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via a website.

Client organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the database, enabling them to vet potential contractors before they even set foot on site. These clients agree that, as users of the scheme, they will engage only those who have received accreditation.
