Rockthorn are ISO Re-Certified!

We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully renewed our ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 certifications, and if you ask us, that’s very much worth celebrating. 

Achieving recertification means we have once again demonstrated that our processes, standards and commitment to future-proofing are not just intact, but continuing to grow stronger year on year.

But why does this matter to you? An ISO certification is internationally recognised, and renewing it means we have proven that we are ensuring the quality, safety and efficiency of our services and systems. It’s not a one-time achievement; it’s an ongoing commitment.

There are many reasons a business should consider achieving and maintaining ISO certifications, including:

1. Satisfying customer requirements
2. Clearly communicating your business’s processes
3. Improving operating consistency
4. Improving business efficiency
5. Reducing waste
6. Saving money
7. Gaining international recognition

Below, we’ve given a little more information about each of the three certifications we hold and what they mean in practice.

ISO 45001: Health and safety management standard

One of the most important things in any business is the health and safety of your team and everyone you work with. That’s why we are proud to hold the ISO 45001 certification, recognising Rockthorn as a safe and healthy workplace.

Renewing this certification reaffirms our commitment to maintaining a safe working environment, not just within our own offices but across every client relationship and project we are involved in. Whether you’re working with us directly or hiring plant through us, you can be confident that safety is never an afterthought here.

ISO 14001: Environmental management

We are dedicated to going above and beyond industry norms when it comes to managing our environmental impact, and our ISO 14001 recertification reflects exactly that. 

This certification gives us access to practical tools and frameworks to manage our environmental responsibilities effectively and continue looking for ways to do better.

As part of our ongoing commitment, we have continued to work on using resources more efficiently and reducing waste across our operations. 

The aim of this certification is to reduce waste wherever possible and help us map out a clear plan of action for managing our environmental footprint.

Whether you’re hiring plant, muckaway, sourcing aggregate or asset financing through us, you can rest assured that we are always striving to measure and improve our environmental impact.

ISO 9001: Quality management

This certification recognises companies that consistently deliver high-quality products and services to their customers. Renewing our ISO 9001 certification means that Rockthorn continues to meet and exceed both customer expectations and the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements that come with operating in the construction industry.

Quality management is, at its heart, about the customer. We know that our customers are what keep our wheels turning, which is why we continually invest in improving our processes and services. Our most recent audit highlighted the strength of our integrated management system and our commitment to continual improvement, which we are incredibly proud of.

So there we have it, three certifications independently audited, renewed and our standards higher than ever. We are committed to continual improvement and are always looking for ways to be leaders in the construction procurement industry, and this recertification is a reminder that the work never stops. We have plenty more in the pipeline, so stay tuned to find out what we build on next.
