Watford General Hospital has just received a high-voltage upgrade from one of the UK's leading electrical contracting companies.
The scheme has now been launched nationwide.
Christina Stone, Quality Mark spokesperson, congratulated Eastern Contracting, commenting: "Quality Mark is the only scheme that gives reputable companies like Eastern Contracting the opportunity to demonstrate their professionalism and separate themselves from the cowboys.
It's great to have a national company on board already as the scheme is rolled out across the country".
The Quality Mark inspection, passed by Eastern Contracting, was part of a pilot scheme initiated by the DTI to build consumer confidence through a government backed Quality Mark register of independently assessed companies.
The certificate has been approved following an intense two and a half-day inspection of Eastern Contracting's industrial work and internal procedures, during which time no non-conformances were raised.
Malcolm Conby, General Manager of Business Power Systems at Eastern Contracting comments: "We are delighted that Eastern Contracting has passed with flying colours and fully support the concept of a single industry Government assessment scheme.
We believe this assessment is essential to the industry in order to instil confidence in the consumer.
We provide a complete electrical engineering and home improvement service to our customers, this alongside our dedication to building long-term relationships means that the Quality Mark is an essential certification for us".
The Quality Mark is designed to demonstrate proven high quality standards in trade work undertaken by organisations such as Eastern Contracting.
The DTI's current national marketing campaign is providing consumers with the confidence that organisations awarded the certificate will provide them with high quality, safe services.
