West Midlands, United Kingdom Jan 27, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Fortel owner, Mr Nijjer proudly congratulates the Rail and Compliance teams for passing the RISQS audit with flying colours.
As part of our continued supply into the Railway Industry, in June 2019 the Fortel Group was audited by the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RSSB RISQS). The scheme is industry-owned and governed and enables suppliers like Fortel to prove that we’re capable providers of services into a heavily regulated industry. Fortel’s owner proudly congratulated the teams for passing the audit with flying colours (again!). We continue to keep Health, Safety and compliance at the top of our agenda as our Rail business expands with recent project awards and as Birmingham becomes an important center for the Rail industry.
Mr Nijjer, CEO & Owner of Fortel instigates a partnership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School.
As part of the continued commitment towards tackling environmental and social challenges facing the industry not just locally around Birmingham and the West Midlands but across the UK, Fortel’s owner instigates a partnership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School.
Fortel has a fundamental commitment to sustainability and in 2017 we secured partnership status with the Supply Chain Sustainability School, a construction industry collaboration between more than 60 major clients, contractors and Tier 1 suppliers to build supply chain skills.
The school addresses the complete range of environmental and social sustainability challenges facing our industry, as well as providing guidance and resources to help eliminate modern slavery. Our specific initiatives in this area include investment in fuel-efficient vehicles to reduce our carbon footprint, reduced mail usage by going electronic and a major commitment to funding 100 apprentices, all of whom will be inducted fully into our values, at the heart of which is Sustainability.
Owner of Fortel group welcome Walsall Works Silver Partner award.
Fortel is seeing out the end of 2019 with a range of awards and accreditations that underline another year of growth and strong financial performance.
First, the company is one of 100 businesses to achieve certification by the UK’s only Ethnic Minority Business (EMB) accreditation programme. Run by MSDUK, the country’s leading organisation driving diversity in procurement, the programme offers opportunities to create more inclusive business relationships and access to international affiliates in the USA, Australia, Canada, China and South Africa.
The company has also been honoured as a Walsall Works Silver Partner under Walsall Council’s award-winning initiative to recognise the contribution and investment employers make to their local workforce. The council intends the Partner Awards as a quality mark for community engagement and a gateway to silver and gold awards for wider activities covered by the scheme.
Finally, Fortel has signed up as a Disability Confident Employer under the UK government scheme to give employers the skills and resources they need to recruit, retain and develop disabled employees.
Fortel Director and owner, Sat Nijjer, welcomed the awards and accreditations as evidence of Fortel’s sustained commitment to social responsibility and professionalism. He said: ‘As we continue to grow in terms of both turnover and staff numbers, we consistently invest in providing a fair, inclusive and ethical business in which our team members can develop their skills and grow their careers. Alongside our strong financial performance, we believe this is key to our future growth and success.’
