Our relationship with RTITB has just got better and better over the years as they have introduced new changes such as the National Operator Registration Scheme (NORS). Having all our staff trained to an Accredited Standard presents huge benefits to our company and in my opinion, RTITB standards are best suited to our type of industry.

Safety at Work is at the heart of the James Cropper company values and imperative to the work we do. All the RTITB staff have a very friendly manner, which I like. It’s a very personable organisation – I have met the team at various events and the telephone support is excellent. I have never had a bad experience with RTITB.”
