PVC fence manufacturer Duralock UK has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.

The company’s application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business and it sees it as enhancing the company’s ability to win new contracts.

Duralock is principally involved in the PVC fencing sector, specialising in the equine and sports sectors, with a £3 million turnover. Duralock’s most recent clients have included major players such as Ascot Racecourse, Epsom Downs Racecourse and the RFU.

Production and installation manager Jack Green, who was instrumental in ensuring Duralock worked towards the accreditation said: ‘We are thrilled to have been approved by the SafeContractor scheme. Safety is paramount in every stage of the production process and it makes sense that we take the same level of care when it comes to our installations. At Duralock, we strive to be at the forefront of new technologies and processes and feel that this accreditation can only add to our already excellent reputation.’
