Merit Skills is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an Achilles UVDB Verify Category B1 accreditation.

Achilles UVDB Verify is an independent audit of an organisation’s Safety, Health, Environment, Quality (SHEQ) management systems and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

The accreditation allows us to pre-qualify as an approved supplier to the utilities sector - a process that makes it easier for companies in the sector to manage their supply chain risks and to comply with EU procurement regulations.

The accreditation was granted on the basis of a rigorous independent audit of our Health & Safety, Quality and Environmental management systems. Re-assessment will take place annually.

We are delighted with our scores. Our overall score was 87%. We see this as a baseline from which to improve upon.

Our managing director Maria Fulluck said ‘we are really pleased with the outcome of our first audit, the team worked extremely hard to prepare the audit and will continue to improve business processes. Gaining accreditation demonstrates our ongoing commitment to Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) as a business’,
