Six Of The Best

It’s something we’ll never get tired of…….100 out of 100 from the guardian of standards in British commerce and engineering, the BSI.

And, as if that weren’t enough, it is the sixth year running that HBPW has achieved a perfect score, largely thanks to a collective effort by the team, and the hawk eyes of Associate Paul Jacklin, the man responsible for policing in-house standards.

He said: “It goes without saying that we are delighted with this latest confirmation but, at a more practical level, the BSI rating speaks volumes to existing and prospective clients because it says, quite definitively, that HBPW is a ‘safe pair of hands.’

“One of my roles is to ensure that jobs run smoothly and that all systems and processes – designed to maintain safety and quality – are strictly adhered to. Every single person in the building knows they are part of that process so this is not a ‘one man victory’, but the result of a collective effort.”

The firm developed its own quality assurance scheme several years ago but this has now evolved to closely align itself with the exacting standards and criteria of ISO9001:2015.

ISO provides for the simple integration and unification of quality procedures demanded by clients such as Network Rail and Electricity Alliance, and, by aligning its own processes to those of ISO, HBPW continues to ensure that designs and details are delivered on time and to programme constraints, by a well-trained and capable team focussed on quality. f
