Chairman of The Window Company ( Contracts ) Ltd .
David commented : “ Being awarded The Glass Charter at Silver Level 2 was a real achievement for all the Window Company ( Contracts ) staff . It followed a rigorous inspection process , which is just how it should be . One of the good things about the process is it doesn ’ t matter what level you achieve first time around because the guidance and information is there to help you achieve a higher level . The highest award is the Gold level and at the Window Company ( Contracts ) we are all working to achieve this because we know we can and Health and Safety matters !”
Phil Pinnington concluded : “ The quality of evidence provided by The Window Company supports our belief that our Members are Health and Safety conscious and are actively looking to improve their health and safety standards .”
