Full Marks For Quickslide On Recent Audit

Being the first business to receive a perfect score of 100% on a recent audit, West Yorkshire-based window and door manufacturer Quickslide is understandably very happy.

The company, which manufactures and supplies high quality PVC-U and aluminium windows and doors, were audited by CENSolutions Ltd last month specifically for the systems process within its aluminium bi-fold door department.

MD Michael Connor explained: “We’re over the moon to have received 100% on the audit and be awarded CMS Quality Mark EN 14351, plus, being the first company to achieve this is something we are extremely proud of. This is a bi-annual audit so standards are always maintained, and this result further shows our commitment to producing a first class product. The audit looked at areas such as; Process Control, Contract Review, Training, Internal Quality Audits… basically it covered the entire process within our aluminium department.”

Paul Scrivener from CENSolutions carried out Quickslide’s Bronze BS EN14351 audit: “The audit was as perfect as you could possibly get; I found no issues whatsoever with the fabrication of the bi-fold doors, and quality control in the factory was 100%, with every check possible being carried out.

“As far as the mandatory clauses of BS EN14351 are concerned, Quickslide’s Quality Manager Alex Cotos has ensured that all the supplier technical information is available and filed correctly and all frames were being labelled up with the correct Bronze CMS label. Quickslide manufactures a very high quality product and everything can be backed up with all the relevant technical information.”

CENSolutions Gets FIT With The Last Stand In Hall 1

CENSolutions, the leading consultancy and test facility for the window, door and glazing industries is pleased to announce that it has taken the last stand in Hall 1 at the 2016 FIT Show.

“We had a presence at last year’s FIT show on a shared stand,” explains Wayne Rogerson, Joint Managing Director of CENSolutions, “but in 2016 we are taking our own stand so that visitors can ask our advice about Document Q: Security, PAS 24:2012, Secured by Design, CE Marking, or any aspect of existing or new legislation. ER Certification and TUV will also be joining us to supply visitors to the stand with a 360 view of testing and certification.

“Our customers tell us time and time again that we are different from other certification suppliers because we listen to their concerns, offer advice and help to implement any necessary changes. This is precisely the approach we will be taking on our stand at the show. We want to make the space a comfortable place for visitors to stop and talk through any concerns or queries they may have, and hopefully have a bit of sporting fun at the same time – watch this space, there will be more to follow on that later!

“Visitors will also be able to meet our team of 9 dedicated independent consultants across the course of the show. All of whom have come from an industry background so between us share expertise about sealed unit manufacture, PVC-U and aluminium frame fabrication and joinery, as well of course as an extensive knowledge about the most efficient and cost effective ways each type of business can meet the necessary legislation. In many cases we can also advise which method of compliance offers the most future proof solution.

“To find out more about CENSolutions ahead of the FIT show, please visit our website at www.censolutions.com and we hope to see you at the show on stand 158 in Hall 1 between 12th and 14th April 2016.”

CENSolutions’ Paul Scrivener Helps Raise £3,500 For Teenage Cancer Trust

For the last three years Paul Scrivener, one of CENSolution’s nationwide team of Dedicated Independent Consultants has dedicated countless hours of his spare time to support two organisations – both committed to raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. In the first five months of 2015, Paul has already co-ordinated and starred in two concerts raising a combined £3,500 but between both organisations he supports – Specialized and March of the Mods – volunteers have raised a collective total of £300,000 for this important charity in the last 4 years.

Paul explains how he got involved: “I’ve always loved music and particularly enjoy playing guitar and singing, but a few years ago I realised I could put these skills to use, raising money for this very worthy cause. I play with two bands, The Special Selection and the Kingston Ska Orchestra and both have featured in all of the concerts I have helped to organise as well as other bands from the local area. In a concert last year I was even lucky enough to play alongside The Specials lead guitarist, Mr Roddy ‘Radiation’ Byers. Both of the organisations I am pleased to support combine music and raising money for charity brilliantly – it’s a great combination that reaps real rewards for all involved.”

The March of Mods charity was established in 2012 and was set up to raise money specifically for the Teenage Cancer Trust by holding events across the country in the Month of March. Individual volunteers take responsibility for organising an event in their own area. They can decide what format the event takes, e.g. fashion show, scooter ride outs or music concerts. Music is at the heart of each event – whatever the format takes – with a DJ and original or cover bands entertaining the crowds.

Specialized was set up by Paul Williams who had been working very closely with The Specials to produce two books that follow the bands history. Paul saw a moving programme about the care of Teenage Cancer patients and decided to put his love of The Specials to work to raise money. The idea started as an album of Specials covers by modern day artists but soon became much more. Now it encourages amateur and professional musicians to come together to perform for the charity.

The Teenage Cancer Trust is a worthy recipient for the funds raised. It is the only charity dedicated to giving teenage cancer patients all of the expert care and support they need from the time they hear the word ‘cancer’. Around 7 young people aged between 13 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. The Trust funds 28 specialist units within NHS hospitals, offers family support for patients and their loved ones and raises awareness of cancer and empowers young people to take responsibility for their own health with a dedicated education team.

CENSolutions Shares Expertise At Building Control Workshop

CENSolutions’ Wayne Rogerson and Brendan Ruddy are pleased to announce their involvement in the Workshop for Building Control on Thursday 9th July at Custom House in Dublin.

Organised by the Environment, Community and Local Government, the workshop’s aim is to launch Ireland’s involvement in a pan-European Market Surveillance Campaign on Windows and Doors, but also to update authorized officers on new Building Regulations and expand on existing legislation in specific areas.

“Brendan and I will be providing visitors with more information on EN 14351-1:2006+A1:2010,” says Wayne, Joint Managing Director of CENSolutions, “to ensure they fully understand the intricacies of the standard for windows and pedestrian doorsets covering all materials (PVC-U, timber, aluminium and steel). We will particularly be placing a lot of emphasis on clause 4.10 – Ability to release (Escape Routes – Push Pad/Push Bar Emergency exits). I will be giving a presentation on the day but both Brendan and I will be on hand for the entire workshop to answer any specific questions too.

“From day one of CENSolutions, 11 years ago now, we set out to not only provide the necessary certification to customers, but also to offer advice and support wherever needed. We do this by translating what can sometimes be fairly complex standards that are open to interpretation, into plain English that manufacturers, installers and specifiers find useful.”
