Howarth Litchfield is one of the largest architectural and interior design practices firm in the region with unparalleled reputation for professionalism, embedding cost effectiveness, whole life costing, sustainability and functionality into their flexible designs.  The Practice has bases in Durham and London.

The British Standards Institute (BSI) have assessed HLP over a 5 day period in both safety and environmental performance and recommended them for registration to both standards.

This is a fantastic achievement and is just recognition for all of the hard work that has been undertaken to achieve the recommendation for registration.

The KBC and HLP partnership have achieved this in the context of increasingly stringent legislation, with the development of a safety and environmental policy and procedures along with other measures that foster environmental and safety protection.

Following the BSI assessment Jonathan Yates, Managing Director for HLP said

“That is great news and we really appreciate all your expertise and assistance. We couldn’t have done it without you”.

Michael has been instrumental in assisting Crown Doors and Shutters ( http://doorsandshutters.co.uk/ ) with a  safety management system to meet the standards require by CHAS and therefore ensuring they are at the forefront of new business opportunities.

Each month thousands of contractors and consultants (suppliers) apply for work with public and private sector organisations (buyers). To win work, they must meet the buyer’s health and safety standards.

Assessing suppliers health and safety competence is usually a lengthy and time consuming process. Suppliers can sometimes meet one buyer’s Health and Safety standards but not another. Being CHAS approved reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers.
