IV Solar Recruitment Obtains MCS Accreditation
IV Solar becomes the first recruitment company to obtain MCS accreditation Generating your own renewable electricity can reap the financial rewards of the Government's Feed-In Tariffs. However, as viewers of the BBC's Watchdog discovered in an eye-opening programme aired last month, this is only possible if both the installer and the manufacturer are accredited by schemes such as the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). The MCS is central to the renewable technologies market, which is why specialist recruitment company, IV Solar, is delighted to become the first recruitment company to receive MCS accreditation.
Dan Stephenson, Managing Director of IV Solar, says, "Working closely with market leaders in the UK solar industry has enabled us to understand this field of work and the jobs involved like no other recruitment company. Our knowledgeable consultants are dedicated to best practice and having MCS accreditation confirms our competency and commitment to provide a service that our clients and candidates can rely on."
Without accreditation it has become difficult for companies to differentiate themselves from rogue traders. On 22nd September 2011 the BBC's Watchdog ran a feature on Solar Panels in response to the high volume of feedback on rogue companies.
The MCS is an internationally recognised quality assurance scheme, allowing companies to demonstrate that they satisfy rigorous and tested standards by providing quality approved products, services and installation to the highest quality every time. Its link to the Government's Feed-In Tariffs, which are payments made to ordinary energy users for the renewable electricity they generate, places installers, manufacturers and suppliers that carry the MCS Mark at a very competitive advantage.
Having met the certification involved, IV Solar has the capability and expertise to provide the highest quality installation teams and project managers to the solar industry; reinforcing its position as a preferred supplier. The company were recognised for their exceptional internal processes, placing them in the top 10% of all the companies that have been assessed for MCS accreditation.
