PCB manufacturer Exception PCB has retained the BS14001 standard for the fifth year running. The annual British Standard audit covers every aspect of a business' potential impact on the environment, covering health and safety, substance emissions, hazardous chemicals, safe working practices and waste removal.
Gordon Holden, managing director of Exception PCB, is delighted with the news that the company is once again top of the 'green' tree.
He says: 'Passing this standard is no mean feat and is testament to the hard work and systems we have put into place to meet these very high environmental measures'.
'Health and safety and the environment are now hot business issues and serious topics that no business can afford to take lightly'.
'Exception PCB employs a full time health and safety manager to oversee our impact on the environment and our people's wellbeing'.
'But it's also about creating a culture around the company so that all staff are aware that we need to spot potential accidents before they happen'.
Exception PCB employs more than 150 people in the Cheltenham area.
The business has gone from strength to strength since its buyout in 2005, when its long-term future was in doubt.
The business manufactures some of the most highly technical PCBs for leading edge applications in the fields of autosport, aerospace, medical equipment manufacture and consumer electronics.
Exception PCB has grown by 20% over the past year alone, exporting up to 30% of its products to 23 countries worldwide.
