Laker Vent Engineering Limited, one of the UK's largest independent Piping & Mechanical Contractors, has achieved Achilles BuildingConfidence Programme accreditation.

The BuildingConfidence programme is designed to enable major contractors and clients in the construction industry to improve performance and demonstrate corporate social responsibility in the supply chain.

The scheme, a partnership between Bovis Lend Lease and Achilles Information Ltd, assesses construction industry suppliers in the areas of safety, the environment, sustainability, quality, occupational health and finance. Bovis Lend Lease is encouraging other major construction companies and contractors to adopt this accreditation process, with a view to creating a construction industry benchmark for best practice in the supply chain.
