VM Elevators, a leading independent lift and escalator specialist, has achieved CHAS Elite certification, reinforcing its commitment to safety, quality, and compliance. The award strengthens the company's ability to secure large-scale contracts, simplifies the pre-qualification process, and enhances its credibility in a competitive industry.
By consolidating multiple compliance requirements into a single, recognised certification, CHAS Elite has enabled VM Elevators to streamline procurement, saving time and reducing administrative burdens. The company also benefits from exclusive CHAS resources, including discounted e-learning, free legal and HR advice, and access to the Veriforce CHAS jobs board.
As the highest-level certification offered by Veriforce CHAS, CHAS Elite covers up to 13 areas of risk management, including SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) and the Common Assessment Standard (CAS). CAS is a widely recognised industry benchmark that ensures suppliers meet essential criteria in areas such as health and safety, financial stability, and environmental management, reducing the need for multiple pre-qualification assessments.
Simon Whitbread, Managing Director of VM Elevators, praised the certification's impact: "We chose CHAS Elite to demonstrate our industry-leading standards in safety and compliance. The assessment process was thorough yet straightforward, with clear guidance throughout. This certification has helped us secure new business opportunities and maintain our reputation for excellence."
David Turner, SVP Marketing at Veriforce, adds: "We are thrilled to see yet another responsible contractor reap the benefits of CHAS Elite certification. They were already operating to the highest standards, and now they have the qualification to prove it and win the business they deserve."
With CHAS Elite verification and compliance management via VeriforceONE, VM Elevators is well-positioned for further growth and expansion while continuing to uphold the highest standards in the lift and escalator sector.
