We have recently aquired CHAS and Constructionline accreditation as a contract needed it. apart from the aa approved contractors. What ones would you recommend and why ?

Although I am not a tree surgeon and I mill logs for making furniture from I was once FSC certified. The paperwork was horrendous and the goalposts were changed regularly. I was only using windblown trees and FSC made it so difficult to use this kind of timber I gave it up. It didnt affect my business at all. I think my standards are higher than FSC's are and I am not going to change that. I am toying with the ISO 14001 environmental standards though. There is a company local to me who do this accreditation and I think I will be contacting them in the new year for a quote. My private customers wont care whether I am certified or not but a lot of my business customers ask these kind of questions and it could open a few more doors for the business.
