We are pleased to announce that we have recently been audited by supply chain solutions specialist Achilles and are now accredited to the Supply Line program. This means we are now an Achilles Building Confidence approved supplier for the UK construction industry.

The Achilles Building Confidence service is a supplier accreditation package that makes doing business easier for everyone by creating a single process where buyers can find qualified partners, and suppliers can prove their credentials.

What it means to our customers

Having an independent Achilles accreditation illustrates our commitment to delivering the very highest standards for our customers by promoting industry best practice.

Achilles uses a single platform and questionnaire to streamline the supplier management process for all parties involved. Its registration, pre-qualification and risk management model is developed by buyers within specific industry sector communities, making it an effective way to on-board and manage suppliers. Rather than having to undertake a lot of administration work to evaluate a supplier each time a contract is awarded, the Achilles membership shortcuts this process, saving our customers the time and cost involved.

What it means to us

This prestigious accolade is one of a number of other accreditations that we have achieved over the last few months, including three international management standards:

ISO 9001 Quality Management

ISO 14001 Environmental Management

ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management

Companies who achieve Achilles Accreditation gain a ‘shop window’ with some of the biggest companies in the construction sector.

Carl Craig, Founder of Newtownstewart Construction UK Ltd, commented:

“We’re committed to always providing our customers with an outstanding service. The Achilles accreditation showcases our willingness to improve and build upon these high standards. It also provides our customers with the added confidence that they are working with a renowned and trusted partner.”
