SME trade business owners often have additional admin to manage especially when working on commercial contracts.  We can provide support here by helping to prepare:

 

• PQQ forms and questionnaires

• Risk assessments and method statements

• COSHH risk assessments

• CPP’s

• O&M manuals

• CSCS card applications

• Health and Safety training course bookings

• Accreditation applications and renewals

 

We regularly find ourselves helping trade businesses achieve or renew their health and safety accreditations such as CHAS and SafeContractor.  Most large organisations and local authorities now expect trades to have these in place and they will be required in order for you to become approved contractors so you can continue to carry out work for them.  We can help to prepare the required evidence for these assessments and submit this for review/assessment via the relevant portals.  

 

There are other general day to day admin tasks specific to trades that we find ourselves managing too.  Opening and helping to manage trade credit accounts, setting up trade account cards for team members making the businesses procurement process much smoother.  We also support procurement of materials and hire equipment obtaining various quotations in order to find our clients the best prices.  Once the order is placed, we keep note of lead times following up to ensure that your deliveries are received on time to help jobs run smoothly.

 

Running a trade based business often means that you are juggling overseeing works and teams on site and managing admin tasks that keep those works and the business moving.  We can help take some of that stress away making your day to day workload more manageable!
