NY Highways has recently achieved health and safety, environmental and quality ISO accreditations.
The Integrated Management System (IMS) team at the North Yorkshire teckal company created by North Yorkshire County Council undertook a nine-month project to ensure processes and procedures were implemented.
External audits took place in early-mid December, with NY Highways gaining accreditation to ISO standards 45001, 14001 and 9001, supporting the commercial expansion of the business.
NY Highways’ managing director, Jamie Crumlish, said: 'The hard work and commitment put into achieving certification to quality, environmental and health and safety standards are something that all within NY Highways can be very proud of.
'The attainment of certification will allow NY Highways to conduct its activities in a controlled, coordinated and compliant manner, providing a platform for continual improvement and growth of the business.'
The IMS team consists of performance analyst and IMS advisor Elisabete Moreira, IMS coordinator Yvette Clayson, senior HSEQ advisor Tariq Anwar and business manager Richard Whitaker.
For the accreditation audit, they were assisted by a specialist consultancy firm, Fenn Environmental.
NY Highways was launched in June 2021 and operates as a separate commercial highways operations business.
Since launching, the business has gone from strength to strength, having been recognised in shortlists for the Highways Awards in 2022 and 2023.
