Hat trick for NERS, GIRS and WIRS audits

BGS Utilities scored top marks this week in its three-yearly NERS, GIRS and WIRS audits under the Lloyds Registration Scheme.

Relating to electricity, gas and water respectively, these accreditations are what a utility-infrastructure provider such as BGS needs to be able to design, install and connect new utility networks.

Over the course of the last week, BGS’ work was assessed across several live projects by an independent auditor. Practices were reviewed according to a standard set of measurements which scrutinised processes, practices and the competence of operational staff. The results of these audits were the reported back to the business

Jonathan Hopkins, BGS Utilities Managing Director, said: “We were really please to get top marks across the board for NERS, GIRS and WIRS – though we never take it for granted. We prioritise safety every day and we work hard to keep our standards high, but these audits take place for good reason and we need to pass them to stay in business.”

BGS first gained its GIRS and WIRS accreditations in 2016 and NERS in 2018. Since then the Company has gone on to develop its portfolio across the industrial and commercial, and housebuilding sectors. The maintenance of these certifications is critical to its daily operations and future success.
