ISO Certification Retained for 2023

Once again, CW Logistics Ltd is proud to report that we have retained our ISO Standards Certifications in ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) & ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems)

Each year the auditing process, carried out by McKibben Management Consultants Ltd, becomes smoother and clearly  identifies the improvements made within the business during the year. By integrating the principles of ISO into all areas of the business, it has gone from strength to strength. Every member of our team actively engages with the principles of ISO on a daily basis, which enables them to contribute to changes in the way systems run with the business at every level, helping to improve and streamline them.

We highly recommend the certification and integration of ISO standards within any business, to develop and improve management systems across all areas.

Work Experience Success

Our new Work Experience programme was put to the test last month, when we welcomed Nick, a Year 10 student from a local high school, who spent a week with us.

Nick had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a wide variety of jobs across both the office and the warehouse, supported by members of the team. We provided Nick with a Work Experience Log to complete during his week us to help him take notes about skills he learned, we also gave him a copy of our programme plan with feedback from the team on his performance.

Nick expressed that he thoroughly enjoyed his week and felt that the experience had been very positive. It was a pleasure to have him with us and he was enthusiastic and motivated throughout the week.

Well done Nick and good luck for the future.

Children In Need Challenge

Our Children in Need challenge for 2022 is underway. The challenge was suggested by some of the warehouse team at 100 press ups, sit ups, step ups or star jumps every work day in November. We also have some going for 18,000 steps. Some have even opted to do 100 of all the exercises!! 

Here are some of them in mid session.

Well done so far everyone, keep it up.

Please help us to raise money for a great charity and support our challengers by donating at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cw-logistics-ltd

We are super proud to have achieved the ISO 45001 standard in September. Our inspection went really well and we would like to thank every team member for their hard work and contribution towards achieving certification.

The three ISO standards we now hold have helped us to identify gaps and continually improve every area of the business. It isn’t just tick box exercise for us, we have integrated the systems into everything we do.

Mental Health Awareness

As part of our commitment to supporting the welfare of our staff, some of our managers and senior staff recently undertook and passed a ‘Mental Health Awareness for Managers’ course. Congratulations to Paul, Kelly, John, Ian and Andris for completing the course. Having staff in all areas of the business, who are aware of the signs and symptoms of those struggling with mental health issues, means that we are able to offer them support and guidance on where and how to get help.

ISO’s achieved with flying colours

Our annual audit for the ISO-9001 Quality Management & ISO-14001 Environmental Management, took place in July and we are really proud to say we passed with flying colours once again.

This year we have worked hard to embed the principles of ISO into everything we do, whether a new idea or an existing strategy or process. The principles are being rolled out to every level of the business, from Directors to warehouse operatives and administration clerks, and the results are clearly evident.

The ISO-14001 Environmental Standard, alongside the Carbon Charter Accreditation, has had a distinct impact on the warehouse guys, who have been coming up with great ideas for reducing and recycling packaging waste and looking at car sharing.

Looking ahead, we have our first audit for the ISO-45001 Occupational Health & Safety Standard in September, which we are busy preparing for.

The three ISO standards will then underpin all areas of the business and support us to continuously improve our systems. If you are considering introducing ISO standards into your business, we would encourage you to take the plunge
