Veriforce CHAS Managing Director Ian McKinnon 

Following the acquisition of CHAS by Veriforce in January 2023, CHAS has announced its company brand name will become ‘Veriforce CHAS’, reflecting its position as a key part of the Veriforce group.

 

The products and services of Veriforce CHAS, including its accreditation offerings and certification, will continue to be known as ‘CHAS’.

 

Being part of Veriforce enhances CHAS’s stability and market impact, enabling CHAS to expand its reach and influence and build on its position as the UK market leader in risk prevention, compliance and supply chain management.

 

Veriforce CHAS will continue to focus on delivering award-winning customer service while developing innovative products and services that help buyers, suppliers, and contractors thrive in an ever-changing market. This will include assisting customers in managing and mitigating risk across their supply chains in areas including health and safety, equal opportunities, diversity and environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.

 

As CHAS has done for 25 years, notably as a co-founder and pioneer of the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) and the Common Assessment Standard, Veriforce CHAS will remain at the forefront of setting compliance benchmarks that improve supply chain risk management standards. Meanwhile, contractors and suppliers will be able to continue to rely on Veriforce CHAS to help them comply with complex regulations and to provide recognised accreditations quickly, easily and cost-effectively.

 

Commenting on the name change, Veriforce CHAS Managing Director Ian McKinnon says: 

“We are extremely proud to become an increasingly integral part of the Veriforce family during an exciting period for both our business and our customers.

“The strength of Veriforce’s global experience will allow us to provide even more market-leading products and services. At the same time, it was important to us and our customers that the CHAS name, widely respected across industry and seen on 10s of thousands of vans all over the UK, was retained. Plus we will continue to maintain the outstanding customer service for which Veriforce CHAS is renowned.”

 

CEO of Veriforce Colby Lane adds: 

“CHAS has a formidable reputation in the UK as a leader in supply change risk management and pioneer in setting compliance benchmarks.

“We are excited to bring the Veriforce brand alongside CHAS’s very strong name and work together to deliver our mission to make the world of work a safer place for businesses, employees and the public.”

Mumford & Wood is pleased to announce becoming a registered supplier on Constructionline, the UK’s leading procurement and supply chain management service. The site collects, assesses and monitors standard company information through a question set that is aligned to PAS 91, the standardised pre-qualification questionnaire developed by BSI to reduce duplication within the construction industry.

“By being a member of Constructionline it is our aim to provide efficiency savings to public and private sector buyers and the construction industry as a whole,” says Frank Buckley, managing director, Mumford & Wood Limited. “By streamlining procurement procedures and improving the supply chain management processes by reducing risk it is our aim to help our customers to minimise duplication and improve efficiencies across the board.”

As a supplier to the construction industry, Constructionline means that specifiers no longer need to repeatedly duplicate standard company information for every construction tender. With many thousands of procurement professionals, from almost 3,000 buying organisations, who already use the Constructionline database, it serves as a great tool under which to market Mumford & Wood’s comprehensive and award-winning product ranges.

“For buyers, the time and cost consuming hassle of assessing tender submissions and maintaining up-to-date supplier information will become a thing of the past,” continues Buckley. “Buyers can now access our information and receive results direct to their desktop with information covering company details, financial records, health and safety, insurances and equality and environmental policies.”

Constructionline is endorsed by the Office of Government Commerce, the Welsh Assembly, the Northern Ireland Executive and the Scottish Executive.
