Leading UK Audio Visual and Electrical Distributor – CIE-Group Ltd – is pleased to announce their verification to the Achilles UVDB approved suppliers list; an online community that enables the UK’s leading utilities providers to access high quality, professional products, to manage supply chain risk and comply with EU regulations.
CIE-Group, which has a team of 35 staff and supplies professional audio visual, security and test & measurement products to the installation and service sectors, will now be able to share on an online platform to its product portfolio and capabilities in key business areas such as health & safety and compliance.
Achilles UVDB is used by over 1000 buyers from over 40 UK utilities companies to find suitably qualified suppliers. Achilles works to ensure suppliers’ information is accurate via data validation, and desktop and physical audits. Several buying organisations also use the community as an approved mechanism for tendering for contracts above and below EU threshold contracts – streamlining the procurement process.
CIE-Group Test & Measurement Manager, Brent Hill said: “In addition to CIE’s leading range of professional Audio Visual equipment, the company also provides many of the UK’s main utility and transport providers with life-saving test instruments; in particular our market-leading Volt Stick non-contact voltage test range. The Sagab Elma Volt Stick range has been tested and fully approved to IEC 61010-1, CAT111 1000v AC and CE standards and is employed by some of the UK’s largest service providers to keep their teams of field engineers safe from the dangers of unidentified live AC voltage.
“Our recent approval to the Achilles UVDB suppliers list will offer the utilities industry further validation of CIE-Group’s commitment to excellence in product quality and safety and consistent supply chain management in these large-scale, time-critical sectors.”
Tom Grand, Regional Director for Achilles in the UK and Ireland, said: “By joining the biggest utilities supply chain risk management community in the UK, CIE-Group has put itself in the best position to be considered for work with UK utility buyers.”
