Accreditation Announcement – CHAS Advanced Achieved!

We’re proud to announce that Mercia Electrical has been awarded CHAS Advanced Accreditation, having successfully met the Common Assessment Standard: a recognised benchmark of excellence in the UK construction industry. This prestigious accreditation is not merely a badge of honour; it signifies our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of operational excellence and safety within our field.

Unlike the basic CHAS Standard accreditation, which focuses primarily on health & safety compliance, CHAS Advanced goes much further. It assesses a company’s performance across 12 key areas, including:

🔹 Health & Safety 

🔹 Environmental Management 

🔹 Equality, Diversity & Inclusion 

🔹 Quality Management 

🔹 Corporate Social Responsibility 

🔹 Financial Stability 

🔹 Anti-bribery & Corruption 

🔹 Modern Slavery Prevention ...and more.

Each of these areas is critical to our operations and reflects our holistic approach to business management, ensuring that we not only comply with regulations but also strive to exceed them in every aspect of our work.

This comprehensive certification, developed by Build UK, CECA, and other leading bodies, is designed to provide clients with assurance that accredited contractors operate at the highest standards across the board. The rigorous assessment process involves thorough evaluations and audits that scrutinise our practices, policies, and overall corporate governance, ensuring that we are not only meeting but also setting benchmarks for others in the industry.

For us at Mercia Electrical, achieving CHAS Advanced not only strengthens our position as a trusted and compliant contractor, but also simplifies pre-qualification for future projects, reduces risk, and reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement. This accreditation serves as a testament to our dedication to fostering a safe and sustainable work environment, while also enhancing our competitive edge in a crowded marketplace.

Huge credit to our entire team for their commitment to excellence. Each member has played a vital role in this achievement, demonstrating professionalism, teamwork, and a shared vision for the future of our company. This collective effort has not only made this accreditation possible but has also laid a strong foundation for our continued success.

And an extra special thank you to Sarah Ede (sarah.ede@merciaelectrical.com), whose exceptional leadership and attention to detail in compiling and submitting the extensive documentation made this achievement possible. Sarah, your dedication was instrumental, thank you! Your hard work exemplifies the spirit of our team and sets a benchmark for others to aspire to. We are incredibly grateful for your contributions and look forward to achieving even greater milestones together in the future.
