Commenting on this latest achievement, Managing Director at Lyndon Design, Tim Armitt said: “We are delighted to have been accredited with FISP. We pride ourselves on producing quality handcrafted products made from natural timber; hence the need to operate in a sustainable manner, from the sourcing of products to how we are contributing to our local and wider economy, is of immense importance to us.”

Tim continues: “As part of our audit process, base lines and targets have been established over a number of areas that will serve to enhance our sustainability, improve efficiencies and help reduce costs. Key areas include; energy, waste and transport management, nuisance management and education and training.

“As well as signifying that we are taking our environmental and corporate social responsibility obligations seriously, FISP accreditation carries a mark of sustainable excellence that will strengthen our reputation for quality and integrity amongst existing customers, and will help in developing new market opportunities,” concludes Tim.
