Northern Ireland based construction company GRAHAM has secured a prestigious ISO certification for 'Collaborative Business Relationships'.

The ISO 44001 international certification was officially awarded to the company on 03 August following a rigorous Certification Stage 2 audit, which revealed zero non-conformances or areas for concern.

ISO 44001 represents a new generation of international standard and provides a common platform to harness the benefits of collaborative working.

GRAHAM has become one of only two UK contractors to receive the certification.

It follows GRAHAM's status as the first contractor in the UK to achieve Investors in People (IIP) Platinum and IIP Wellbeing accreditation and also the British Standards Institute (BSI) Dual KitemarkTM certification for both BIM Design and Construction (PAS 1192-2) and Asset Management (PAS 1192- 3).
