We are pleased to announce that, Wind turbine installation and service company Global Wind Service UK ltd (GWS) has just obtained UKAS Category C accreditation for Statutory Inspection Services.
“I am delighted that we have been awarded our UKAS 17020 type ‘C’ accreditation for our Inspection services, this is another step forward in our continuous improvement on our quality of service to our customers” said Martin Roberts, Area Manager UK at Global Wind Service.
To obtain accreditation GWS has continuously taken different measures and steps towards fulfilling the requirements for accreditation. The process has been somewhat delayed due to the corona pandemic.
I am extremely proud of our statutory inspections team who have been working with this. They have done a tremendous job and obtaining UKAS accreditation is not something that comes easily. It is an important achievement for us, and seal of approval towards our clients
said Michael Høj Olsen, CEO of Global Wind Service.
