Top Safety Accreditation for Erodex UK Ltd

Post date October 18, 2017

Erodex (UK) Ltd has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.

Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.

The company’s application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor accreditation will enhance the company’s ability to win new contracts, and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeContractor said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place.”

“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Erodex has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeContractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process.”

Erodex appoint dedicated Export Manager after 54% export growth

EDM graphite & tooling specialists Erodex have appointed a dedicated Export Manager after a record 54% growth in export sales.

The move follows a string of new contract wins with clients in countries including Israel and the opening of a new $2million tooling facility in Virginia, North America.

Director Steve Rolinson comments: “As a result of high levels of demand for our graphite products and tooling solutions overseas, we are looking to continue growing export sales and exploring new markets. We have already seen evidence of this over the past 12 months and we believe that now is the right time to appoint a dedicated Export Manager”.

In addition to managing the day to day operations within a newly established department, Laura Collins will ensure that Erodex fully comply with HMRC regulations and those within the diverse range of non EU countries that Erodex now export to.

Rolinson continues: “We have been progressively providing more and more aerospace tooling and electrodes to countries as far away as Israel and in doing so, have gained a significant amount of experience exporting into these new markets. There is no doubt that there are untapped markets for us in other countries too, and we feel that the time is right for us to recruit a dedicated Export Manager to manage this process. Much was said about the effect of Brexit on UK industry, but so far from our perspective we are benefitting from a weakened pound and are experiencing demand from non EU countries in particular”.

New Erodex Export Manager Laura Collins adds: “I have always worked in an international trade environment, primarily in export and with a focus on implementing processes and procedures. Export sales at Erodex are growing quickly, accounting for an ever increasing amount of overall turnover, meaning that it makes sense to establish a dedicated export department to manage this work. Different countries come with their own complexities or requirements and as a team, we are now well placed to deal with these and play our part in facilitating the growth in overseas trade during what is an exciting time for the company. I am delighted to be on board and very much looking forward to the future”.
