For five years, Towmate Trailers has been designing and manufacturing modular trailers for public utilities, civil engineering, plant rental, and landscaping industries. Seven Trent Water and Cadent Gas are among some of the company’s existing customers.
Achilles UVDB Silver Plus Accreditation (H2)
The news comes shortly after the company’s launch of LaySafe – a coil pipe trailer for the utilities sector. A critical requirement for suppliers in the utilities sector, and recognised by all major utilities companies, Achilles’ UVDB auditing process evaluates businesses on several criteria, from environment, sustainability, and health and safety to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and quality.
Achilles UVDB Auditing Process and Towmate Trailers’ Recognition
The audit process involves a thorough evaluation of management systems and on-site assessments to ensure utilities suppliers have the necessary policies and procedures in place and effectively implement them in their operations. Towmate Trailers’ audit included recognition of its Carbon Neutral Certification system.
Commitment to Safety, Quality, and Sustainability
Steve Bradshaw, managing director of Towmate Trailers, said: “Earning the Achilles UVDB Silver Plus accreditation is a true testament to our team's dedication to upholding the highest standards across all aspects of the business. Our collective commitment to safety, quality, and sustainability is concrete, and this is clearly recognised in the high scores we achieved across all disciplines.
Exceeding Industry Expectations with Towmate Trailers
“With utilities companies typically looking for suppliers with an audit score of 83% or higher, this achievement not only meets but far exceeds industry expectations, with an overall score of 98% reinforcing our reputation for excellence. I am immensely proud of the work we’ve produced over the past half a decade, establishing Towmate Trailers as a trusted and reliable partner for the utilities, civil engineering, and plant hire industries, and I look forward to seeing what the next 5 years have in store.”
