Forticrete awarded five-star accreditation

Forticrete has received five-star Building Confidence Accreditation from leading supply chain accreditation specialist, Achilles.

Widely recognised as the standard for continual improvement in the UK construction industry, the Achilles Building Confidence Accreditation removes the need for duplicate information and audit requests between clients and suppliers.

Based on the standard’s scored accreditation process, Forticrete was awarded the coveted five-star rating for demonstrating zero observations; PQQ errors; and A3 minor non-compliances since becoming an officially accredited supplier with Building Confidence in 2011.

Forticrete also achieved recognition for its energy reduction efforts at the Leighton Buzzard site; and for making an ‘Outstanding Contribution to Health and Safety’, as substantiated by its success at the 2013 British Precast Best Practice Awards.

John Lambert, general manager at Forticrete, commented: “For many of the UK construction industry’s major players, the pressure to conduct a more consistent and robust accreditation process on their supply chains has never been higher.

"Therefore for companies like ourselves, to be accredited with Building Confidence is essential.

“To receive the prestigious five-star rating is an exceptional achievement and is testament to our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement across the entire business - reaffirming our status as a truly customer focused supplier to the UK construction industry.”
