We were delighted to receive our welcome pack from the Arboricultural Association this morning confirming we are now Approved Contractors (AAAC)! This is the highest accreditation possible in our industry and brings with it automatic qualification for CHAS (Construction Health and Safety Scheme) and Trust Mark. We were assessed not only on Health and Safety but also on the quality of our work and customer service. The assessment is very detailed and is not a desk top process, but actually involves an auditor visiting us for a whole day. They undertake detailed assessments of work undertaken as well as attending a large tree removal job using advanced rigging techniques. They inspect our machinery and equipment, our staff and just about every aspect of our business to ensure we met not only their stringent standards, but also all relevant legislation. The AAAC scheme enables us to apply for larger contracts since in many cases it is a pre-requisite to tender for council work.
