The certificate was presented to Paul Cooper, Managing Director of Ormandy, by Richard Ogden, the Chairman of Buildoffsite. Mr. Cooper said: “Our thanks to the Buildoffsite team from Lloyd’s Register for the guidance and support both at the gap analysis and assessment stages of the accreditation process”’ He continued: “As a direct result we have taken a number of positive actions which will benefit the entire business group, not just the offsite activity.”
The Buildoffsite Registration Scheme provided by Lloyd’s Register is a risk-based scheme designed to benchmark offsite providers against best practice in terms of risk management, configuration management, process control and competency. It serves as a vehicle for the standardisation of best practice within the offsite sector of the construction industry.
Terry Mundy, Energy UK Business Development Manager, Lloyd’s Register EMEA said: “The Buildoffsite scheme verifies the adequacy of risk mitigation measures associated with the safe and competent provision of offsite activities and services. In gaining accreditation for the design and manufacturing elements of their business, Ormandy has demonstrated that they have achieved best practice in the provision of their products and services.”

Celebrating 250 years of service
In 1760, 11 men met in Edward Lloyd’s coffee house to talk about publishing a list of ships, a register to define their quality and safeguard life and property carried on them. In the years since then we have applied our expertise across the energy and transportation sectors, helping to make the world a safer place. In 2010 we are celebrating 250 years of service and quality and we are looking forward to the new challenges the future brings.
