Exor National Database / Accreditation Standard

23/10/2008

Bridge Interiors are delighted to have received Exor accreditation. This is a reflection of our stringent working practices and our dedication to putting processes and procedures in place to win business from local government.

We are one of the latest successful companies to join a national scheme designed to help industry improve its business development record with Government organisations. Exor Management Services, a programme which recognises very high standards of business practise amongst UK contractors that wish to work in the government sector.

As part of our acceptance for this accreditation standard, Bridge Interiors were subjected to a comprehensive Accreditation process involving a legal and regulatory review, financial analysis and reference checks.

The Company’s application for Exor accreditation was driven by the need to minimise the administration required to do business in the government sector and also receive recognition for the high standards of compliance that it achieves across the business.

Exor accreditation is expected to enhance the Company’s ability to attract new contracts and in addition, having achieved this recognised standard for the public sector, this will have a positive impact upon business generated from the private sector, as confidence levels rise. Also, the commitment to high business standards will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

Exor Management Services, established in 1997, is the leading body specialising in Risk and Compliance throughout the UK. The company has developed a comprehensive and detailed risk management framework for the Public Sector. Exor knows that the management of risk is a central issue in the procuring of goods and services and that is why this framework enables Exor’s Clients to procure goods and services with the confidence and knowledge that the businesses they are contracting with have been fully assessed on all council spend in such key areas as Financial Stability, Health and Safety and Equal Opportunities.

Major public organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound range of business policies. More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Bridge Interiors has done. The firms’ high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector.”
