Ringway Jacobs is thought to be the first highways service provider in the country to receive the ISO 55001 accreditation from the British Standards Institution (BSI) - an international standard for asset management systems.
Awarded for its effective management of highway assets on its Cheshire East Highways contract, the award recognises the proactive management of assets to benefit efficiency and effectiveness.
Ringway helped customer reports of road defects in need of repair in Cheshire East fall by 70% since 2013 – from 17,241 in 2012/13 to 4,063 in 2015/16.
Mike Notman, Ringway Jacobs’ managing director said: 'I am extremely proud that, working with Cheshire East Council, we are the first highways service provider to be formally recognised for asset management through ISO 55001.
'This accreditation demonstrates our collaborative approach with our local authority clients and how, through shared goals, we deliver our clients objectives in an efficient and effective manner.'
This accreditation ends a successful year for Cheshire East Highways, following BS 11000 in March 2016 for collaborative business relationships.
The lead auditor for the ISO said Ringway Jacobs' work could 'only be described as impressive.'
