Manor Refrigerated Cabinets and coolsuredoors, both trading divisions of Manor Concepts Limited, have been awarded ISO 14001 certification.

This means that three ISOQAR certifications have now been awarded to both companies in less than a year.

The ISO 14001 certification covers all aspects of the companies' environmental management processes including the use of resources, recycling and waste management. Gaining the certification demonstrates commitment to ensuring all processes are carried out correctly and efficiently, as well as minimising environmental impacts.

The implementation of ISO 14001 on site has seen changes made to waste segregation processes, the management of waste streams, including reducing the amount of waste produced, and the handling of waste or bi-products in an appropriate manner. The certification ensures that both companies have an ongoing commitment to reduce the impact of manufacturing processes on the environment.

External verification for the standard was carried out by the UKAS accredited certification body ISOQAR, providing assurance that the two companies are operating in accordance with the industry recognised frameworks.

Operations director, Martin Corken, said: 'Gaining the ISO 14001 certification has meant we have now gained our third accreditation in an impressive time frame of 11 months. Having previously been awarded the ISO 9001:2008 and BS OHSAS 18001 in February 2014, both businesses are officially operating at a certified level across all manufacturing processes.

“These accreditations will help to efficiently drive the businesses forward, benefitting not only both the companies, but also their customers,” he added.

Managing director, Michael Tucker, said: 'The acquirement of the three ISOQAR certifications in 11 months is a real credit to the staff at both Manor Refrigerated Cabinets and coolsuredoors. Both companies will reap the rewards of attaining these standards as their customer base and product offering continues to expand.'
