Achieving new occupational
health and safety certification
» » MANAGEMENT AND STAFF FROM A
leading PVCu window and door manufacturer
are celebrating after achieving ISO 45001
certification. Shelforce was assessed before
Christmas and has now been certified as
meeting the new international standard of
occupational health and safety.
The new management system has replaced
the OHSAS 18001 and enables Shelforce to
provide safe and healthy working conditions,
prevent work-related injury and ill health, and
continually improve its occupational health
and safety performance.
The standard was developed by a committee
of occupational health and safety experts and
follows other management system approaches
such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
Howard Trotter, Shelforce’s Business
Manager, said: “Our staff are hugely important
to us, so it is absolutely vital that we provide
them with a safe place to work. The ISO
management system is also about being
proactive about health and safety and continual
improvement, which we strive for here at
Shelforce. Achieving ISO 45001 certification
puts us in an elite category of businesses,
and the level of excellence is internationally
recognised. It will greatly contribute to us
moving forward as a company in the future.”

GLAMPING DOORS AND WINDOWS ARE PODS’ GIFT
» » INDEPENDENT NETWORK MEMBER
M&M Windows has secured an ongoing
contract with a ‘glamping pod’ supplier
based in Morecambe. Using VEKA’s Fully
Sculptured system, family-run M&M
Windows has manufactured and installed
single glazed doors and windows for around
100 pods, so far, as well as a number of shaped
side panels.
Michael McCoy of M&M Windows
explains: “The Directors of Lune Valley Pods -
Samual Westworth and Patrick Benson - were
looking for a quality product from a source
they could trust. They knew us and our work
and were confident that we would be able to
supply the products and service required at an
extremely high standard – a fact that is clearly
illustrated by our Independent Network
membership.
“We were able to quote within the budget
and, thanks to VEKA’s Variations colour
collection, M&M Windows is able to offer a
huge choice of colours and woodgrain options
to suit whatever orders come in for these pods.
So far, we’ve provided doors and windows with
Irish Oak on both sides, as well as the popular
Anthracite Grey exterior and White interior
combination.”

EXTEND YOUR REACH WITH NEW AWNING RANGE
» » OUTDOOR LIVING
specialists and G18 Award
finalists, the Milwood Group
has sprung into Spring with the
official launch of the Heston
range, the brand-new collection
of premium awnings.
Combining three distinct
awning systems, the new Heston
range is designed to provide
installers with a premium solution
to suit any outdoor space. While
the Heston Light boasts a sharp,
modern design, the Heston
Flat features a smooth, more
rounded finish. The star of the
range, however, is the Heston Pro
which offers a discrete, yet high-
performance system.
Each awning offers massive
amounts of customisation with
117 different fabric colours and
a choice of four standard colours
and 16 colour combinations for
the frame. Operated by an electric
motor, the three Heston systems
can be opened and closed with the
touch of a button. What’s more,
the systems are almost completely
hidden when retracted fully.

To tailor for every budget and
application, each system can
be upgraded to include LED
lighting on the cassette and arms.
Customers can even choose to have
speakers installed in the awning,
which they can control using the
dedicated companion app.
