Kate Walshaw, The Preparation Group’s group hire manager has been re-elected as an HAE (Hire Association Europe) Supply Chain board member, demonstrating that she has clearly made a positive impact.
The company has also renewed its Hire Industry Trusted Supplier (HITS) status and for the third year running, proved its commitment to providing quality surface and floor preparation products and services as a HAE member by attaining its SafeHire Certification.
SafeHire is a continual Business Improvement programme that sets and helps to maintain high standards of operation within the hire industry. The SafeHire certificate lasts for three years but is reviewed annually, raising awareness with government and trading standards. It has mutual recognition from PQQ organisations as a pre-requisite to their accreditations and Build UK members.
The Preparation Group’s managing director Tracey Glew said: "Kate has worked hard over the last few years championing the benefits of HAE membership and the associated standards. Our Hire division has been dedicated to continual improvement in quality and delivery of customer satisfaction, providing competitively priced surface preparation, removal and finishing equipment, accessories and solutions - as is at the core of the SafeHire certification."
