Pugh & Sanders joins over 4,000 suppliers in building a safer rail supply chain. RISQS is a major factor in assuring the quality of parts in Britain, to show a supplier is effectively managing risk throughout business processes.

Quality will always be a critical part of the UK rail supply chain. RISQS helps to provide buyers with benchmark standards that validate the quality and capabilities of suppliers across the sector.

Managing Director, Jeremy Pugh, commented on this achievement: “Here at Pugh & Sanders, we’re always looking for ways to improve the quality of service for our customers. Getting RISQS is just another step on our journey to increase the capacity of the business to further implement trusted, super-efficient stock replenishment systems.

“Our investment in RISQS verification shows our commitment to ongoing quality enhancements business wide. This latest accreditation will play a critical role when it comes to our larger projects, particularly with the amount of supplier consolidation needed for these projects to run smoothly.”

For 35 years, Pugh & Sanders have distributed an extensive supply base of fasteners, fixings, c class & specialist kitting especially for the rail industry nationwide. This involves safety critical work such as heavy maintenance & bogie overhauls, all underpinned by quality approved processes via SAP system processing, that supports a flawless Vendor Managed Inventory service at depot level.
