SBS Gain Recommendation for ISO 9001 Accreditation and Dry Docking Facilities
28 May 2008
May has been a busy month for Southern Blasting Services, with exciting news on all fronts. On the 6th of May we completed the purchase of our new 2,500ft² industrial unit. This will act as a new permanent base for us to work from, providing us with the storage space, workshop and office facilities to build our business and to better serve our customers.
We also are very pleased to announce that our quality management system has been audited against ISO 9001:2000 standards by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) and we have been recommended for approval. We are wholly committed to the quality of our services and our focus on customer satisfaction, and we are extremely pleased with our recommendation.
Our quality policy statement is as follows:
"Southern Blasting Services Ltd is committed to delivering the highest quality services to meet our clients’ needs. We are dedicated to continually improving and maintaining standards and investing in systems, training and procedures that enable us to constantly improve performance, efficiency and knowledge.
"Our Management system is compliant with EN ISO 9001:2000, alongside being members of the Water Jetting Association (WJA) and complying with the guidelines laid out in the WJA Code of Practice.
"We aim to continually improve the effectiveness of all aspects of our business, and to continue to improve the services provided to our customers."
DRY DOCK FACILITIES
We are also pleased to announce, as part of our growing range of services we can offer our customers, we have a working agreement with Sharpness shipyard and dry dock to provide access to the dry dock for our customers. We can provide this facility for vessels of up to 103m in length, 14.6m beam and 4.7m draft.
Situated at the head of the Bristol Channel, we have access to one of the few dry docks remaining in the south west of the United Kingdom able to offer the ship owner a competitive repair and maintenance facility.
