Considerate Constructors Scheme welcomes Wernick Hire

The Considerate Constructors Scheme has welcomed Wernick Hire as its first registered supplier in its new Supplier Registration membership scheme.

Introduced in June 2014 in recognition of the critical contribution suppliers make to the construction industry, Supplier Registration is for companies that provide goods and materials to the construction industry.  

Mike Petter, Chairman of the Scheme said:  “We’re delighted to welcome Wernick Hire to the Scheme.  Supplier Registration is an important step in our development as an organisation that is pushing for higher standards across the whole construction industry.

"Wernick Hire consistently applies high standards throughout its business and that makes them an ideal member of the Scheme.”

The Wernick Group have been supplying modular and temporary buildings for over 80 years and have grown to be the largest independent supplier in Britain.

Michael Thistlethwaite, Managing Director of Wernick said: “We’re extremely pleased to be accepted as the first supplier into the Scheme and look forward to working with them to ensure that the high standards they promote throughout the industry are maintained.”  

The Considerate Constructors Scheme is a non-profit-making, independent organisation founded in 1997 by the construction industry to improve its image.

Construction sites and companies voluntarily register with the Scheme and agree to abide by the Code of Considerate Practice. The Code commits those sites and companies registered with the Scheme to care about appearance, respect the community, protect the environment, secure everyone’s safety and value their workforce.

The Scheme is concerned about any area of construction activity that may have a direct or indirect impact on the image of the industry as a whole. The main areas of concern fall into three categories: the general public, the workforce and the environment.
