A leading Westcountry-based asbestos removal contractor has been awarded a prestigious Gold Training Award by the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA) in recognition of its team’s high levels of competency.

For the second year running S Roberts Group in Bridgwater, Somerset has attained a higher-than-average score in training sessions to achieve this award.

Sam Lawson, Asbestos Director says:

“This award is only given to ARCA members that have met rigorous criteria and is a significant and vital achievement that showcases our high levels of competency in asbestos removal.

“We are so delighted to have been presented with this award, which truly highlights the dedication and hard work of our team members, who have attained higher-than-average scores in training sessions this year.

“Our achievement was also acknowledged at this year’s ARCA AGM in October, so we couldn’t be prouder. We would like to thank everyone involved with this aspect of our business. It’s wonderful to have this accolade as it puts us up at the very, very top of our industry, regionally and nationally.”

The award is only given to ARCA members that have undertaken training with the body via supervisors and operatives’ courses, have a minimum of eight delegates on any of these courses and have achieved an average scoring of 92.5% across all delegates trained.

“May I personally, and on behalf of the ARCA Training and Competency Committee, congratulate you and all your staff on achieving the ARCA Gold Training Award. This is a considerable achievement and you and your team should be justifiably pleased. It is a testament to all your staff that have attained a higher-than-average score in training sessions to achieve this award.”
