We’re proud to share that we’ve been awarded a JOSCAR certification for 2022.
The invite-only accreditation recognises our interconnected co-brands as compliant and trusted commercial interior suppliers for the aerospace, defence and security industries, including large organisations such as the UK Ministry of Defence, Babcock International, BAE Systems and more.
Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register
JOSCAR (Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register) is managed by a highly regarded supplier information and risk management organisation. Their experts carefully select businesses, collating them in a credited register based on their quality, compliance and exceptional industry standards. The register is designed as a collaborative tool where customers can easily relay supplier information before taking their project further.
Businesses awarded with a JOSCAR certification undergo a thorough analysis to ensure their day-to-day processes are “fit for business”. Our group, with emphasis on co-brands Contract Interior Systems and Gravity Office Interiors, are now validated as reliable, high quality suppliers, driven to deliver complete commercial interior solutions that make great experiences, wherever work happens.
To be awarded a JOSCAR certificate, suppliers must undergo a dynamic 2 stage process that are closely tailored to their individual operations.
|
Stage 1 – Profiling |
Stage 2 – Compliance |
|
All businesses undergo the initial stage to gather basic company information.
If, following this, a supplier is deemed to be high risk, they will then advance to Stage 2. |
By comparison, this stage requires a detailed questionnaire that is tailored to the unique nature of goods and services indicated in Stage 1, including:
The ‘risk triggered questions’ in this stage will be determined by Stage 1 answers. |
Having undertaken these steps, our team at Workplace Interiors Co were recognised as highly compliant, with emphasis on the quality and control we have over our supply services.
