‘We are extremely pleased to be recognised in such a way. To be classed as a top performer in Permit to Work and then acknowledged as the leader in Control of Work overall is a considerable accolade. Our continuous stream of improvements to Control of Work and our constant attention to meeting our clients’ needs, really merits this recognition.
Our RAPcore system currently under development, gives breadth to even more CoW elements as well as improving our existing ones. We are really excited here at being able to offer even better Control of Work along with the improvements in maintenance efficiency that our products provide.`
