Barrett Steel Services awarded landmark CE Standard / bs053-L-Bradford-Barrett Steel Services-CE / 18.06.14

Bradford-based Barrett Steel Services, a member of the Barrett Steel Group, have been accredited with the coveted CE Standard award.

"CE Marking relates to the Construction Products Directive and Structural Steels," explains James Barrett, Managing Director of the Barrett Steel Group. "We have proved to the SCCS (Steel Construction Certificate Scheme Ltd) that steel is processed in accordance with BS EN 1090 and have been issued with the EC Certificate of Factory Production Control (FPC). This proves that systems and procedures are sufficiently stringent to deliver the required levels of workmanship and traceability on processed steel."

The Barrett Steel Group, which includes 42 companies operating from 28 locations, is working towards a trio of landmark awards across the Group, comprising CE Marking; the environmental standard, ISO 14001:2004; and the quality initiative, ISO 9001.

Despite challenging times in the industry Barrett Steel reported a near 50% increase in pre-tax profits as sales increased for the financial year to September 2013.
