ACCREDITATIONS
The employment practices of your supplier will have been thoroughly assessed for good practice, including employee screening*, benefits, training and conditions, the right to work in the UK and social security legislation.
And following approval, we are continuously monitored to maintain our approved contractor status.
The ACS Standard promotes service customisation and added value, so the services delivered can be tailored for your precise requirements. Additionally, approved contractors have special dispensation to deploy staff who are waiting for their SIA licence application to be processed (it is illegal for non approved contractors to do so) – adding further to their operational resources.
