Skill Scaffolding are proud to have been awarded ISO 9001 certification – another string to add to the Skill bow.

If you follow us on social media, you’ll have seen that Skill Scaffolding were recently awarded ISO 9001 certification. This is a major achievement for the team during a difficult time, and something we will celebrate as soon as the entire Skill family can come back together.

As with all our achievements, our ISO accreditation is a homage to our staff; not least our Head of Health and Safety, Lee Marshall. So, to all of you, we raise a glass.

But what is the ISO 9001 standard and why is it important for a company to have it?

We get that unless you’re *in the know*, it may just seem like a bunch of letters and numbers. 

ISO 9001 is the most recognised international quality management system in the game. It’s proof that a business is home to the very best operations and that their controlling paperwork, leadership, non conformities and procurement are second to none.

A business achieves their ISO 9001 certification by passing a stringent audit; and once they’ve got this in hand, they can expect some pretty juicy benefits.

A business that hits the ISO 9001 standard shows that they can deliver an industry leading service.

It marks a commitment to continuous improvement and streamlined operations, which can lead to:

• A reduction in costs
• More business wins
• Higher product and service quality
• A boost in company and staff morale
• Satisfied customers (and continuous referrals)
• A resilient, sustainable business
• Strong corporate governance
• A more efficient supplier chain

The fact that Team Skill has been able to prove that we are a worthy member of the club is providing a beacon of light as we navigate our new, complex way of working and is now one of many certificates in our gallery.
