DESIGNER CONTRACTS ACHIEVES ELITE STATUS

Designer Contracts, the UK’s largest flooring contractor, has completed the construction industry recognised Common Assessment Standard to achieve the coveted Elite status.

Designed to advance safe and sustainable business practices and set benchmarks for supply chain compliance, the assessment is backed by Build UK and the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA).

Having previously achieved Standard and Advanced accreditation, Designer Contract’s newly confirmed ‘gold’ standard as Elite members sets it apart from many competitors.

Said commercial director Louise Walters: “We’ve been CHAS members for a while, but this is the first time we’ve reached Elite status and we’re delighted to have done so.

“The accreditation represents a comprehensive assessment covering 13 key areas of risk management, from health and safety to environmental and professional standing.”

The Common Assessment Standard – conducted annually – helps companies in construction and related industries achieve and demonstrate compliance. Veriforce CHAS works with leading organisations worldwide to advance safe and sustainable business practices and set benchmarks for supply chain compliance. Its

mission is to help bring workers home safely.

Designer Contracts operates nationally through its network of regional offices. As well as flooring, the company provides blinds and curtains plus furniture and lighting packs.
