The scheme forms part of the Government’s “Buy With Confidence” Trading Standards approved supplier listing, which is recognised nationally. Accreditation means STR’s processes and working practices have been fully audited and approved by Trading Standards.
STR Logistics operates pallet handling and distribution services across the English Riviera and surrounding areas of Teignmouth and Newton Abbott.
Commenting on the accreditation, Anthony Quinn, STR managing director/owner, said: “We’re proud and delighted to be awarded this prestigious approval and accreditation. The audit looked at our daily working practices, both operationally and administratively, as well as our HR policies, approach to employee well-being, branding and service levels. We hope it gives customers further confidence in working with STR Logistics as their partner of choice here in the South West.”
Commenting, Rob Gittins, managing director of Palletways UK, added: “This is a great accolade for STR Logistics which already has an excellent track record and is well-respected in its region. The audit determined STR’s professionalism and recognised the pride it takes in its service delivery in Devon and the South West.”
