EMS sails through rigorous ISO audit

EMS has an impressive record of ISO achievements, and this trend continued this week with the announcement that the direct marketing company has passed its rigorous, six-monthly audit with flying colours.

The event marketing specialists underwent the two-day audit last month (July) for all three of its accreditations: BS OHSAS 18001:2007, the Occupational Health and Safety Standard; BS EN ISO 9001:2008, the Quality Management System and BS EN ISO 14001:2004, the Environmental Management Standard.

The company’s success in achieving and maintaining the tough ISO standards has been a key factor in a number of recent new business wins, as many new clients now demand evidence of a business’s professionalism and their ability to deliver excellent standards of service when it comes to roadshows and campaigns using exhibition trailers.

The auditors’ report praised the company’s ‘drive for continuous improvements’ and demonstrable ‘clear link of objectives to business plan and review’. The report also highlighted EMS’s ‘comprehensive and clear’ environmental policies and impacts register.

EMS Managing Director, Keith Austin, said: “We are delighted that we managed to keep up our record of success with audits. Throughout our audit history, we’ve never failed or had any non-conformity issues – an excellent achievement and testament to the high standards we aspire to in everything we do at EMS.”

EMS showcase the power of 'one-to-one' roadshow marketing

The EMS team took a pit stop during its busy European schedule last week to showcase live examples of their work to leading industry professionals.

EMS, the UK’s leading provider of roadshow exhibitions using mobile trailers, hosted an invitation-only, two-day event at Mercedes Benz World in Surrey, to demonstrate a number of roadshow campaigns that have been hugely successful in Europe and the Middle East.

The One to One event was designed to show key decision-makers from blue chip companies and marketing agencies how leading global brands are using roadshows to engage strategically with their audiences.

Delegates stepped on board a variety of EMS live exhibition trailers and took the opportunity to network with industry peers and learn from EMS roadshow promotions experts. To round-off the day, visitors took part in an exhilarating hospitality drive experience round the famous Brooklands track. 

EMS Head of Business Development Nic Whelan said: "We provided a unique opportunity for prospective new clients to see for themselves how they can achieve market growth with multi-territorial campaigns and connect with key decision-makers and influencers on their doorstep.

"We’ve had great feedback after the event - it successfully demonstrated how businesses can gain real competitive advantage by showcasing their products in a mobile environment."

A Lack of Fire Safety Puts Care Homes at Risk

Many care homes based in London have recently been issued with enforcement notices by the Fire Authorities for not having key fire safety precautions in place, for example no fire escape plans, no fire safety training for staff and no marked fire exits.

This highlights the importance to care home providers that fire safety is integral in keeping all staff and residents out of harm’s way. Avoiding such fire safety measures increases the risk of unwanted dangers and bad publicity for care homes.

With the majority of people being elderly, ill or immobile, it is vital that care homes have competent people to implement an effective fire management system including a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. These should reduce the risk of fires occurring in care homes and the possibility of a fire spreading should an unfortunate event occur.

Alastair Hall, Head of Health & Safety at Citation plc states;

“As general practice, care homes must have fire precautions and emergency procedures in place. There must be available competent people to deal with fire safety to ensure the wellbeing and safety of the staff, visitors and residents. A fire risk assessment must be completed in order to ensure that fire preventative and protective measures are sufficient, in place and all staff know what to do in the event of a fire.”
