Palletforce has once again excelled in its commitment to quality management, environmental management and workplace health and safety, cementing its position as the UK\u2019s premier express palletised freight network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a rigorous six-day audit, Palletforce retained full re-certification of its ISO accreditation in three key areas, with the external assessment team acknowledging Palletforce\u2019s use of data to drive performance management and customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ISO \u2013 the International Organisation for Standardisation \u2013 is made up of bodies from more than 160 countries, set up to promote global standards for technology, scientific testing processes and working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key areas of the ISO audit include assessing the organisation’s context and interested parties, evaluating the management system’s effectiveness and adherence to the standard, and confirming a commitment to continual improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auditors carried out thorough examinations of three of Palletforce\u2019s ISO certifications: 9001, which evaluates the effectiveness of quality management systems; 14001, which tests environmental management systems; and 45001, the international standard for health and safety at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In their report, the auditors said they were very impressed with Palletforce\u2019s data gathering and the use of that data to enable fact-based management actions. Palletforce\u2019s processes and its management system continues to deliver policy commitments, including compliance with regulatory requirements and continual improvement, and is helping to minimise business risks and support the delivery of service excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beverley Knight, Palletforce Health and Safety Manager, said: \u201cBusinesses that have ISO certifications see improved credibility. It\u2019s a seal of quality that a company\u2019s stakeholders, customers and members can trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are delighted to have achieved full re-certification of all three standards and, with internal audits every other month and annual external surveillance visits, we will continue to pursue ongoing improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a company, Palletforce is 100 percent committed to maintaining the very highest levels of operational and workplace standards and we are always looking for ways in which we can improve our performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark Tapper, Palletforce Chief Executive Officer, added: \u201cPalletforce is built on quality, from the approach we take across the network to the premium level of nationwide service delivered to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAchieving ISO reaccreditation with such a glowing report from the auditors is acknowledgment of the high standards delivered at the Palletforce SuperHub, which helps to power an unrivalled customer experience across the network.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
