Macgregor Industrial Supplies Ltd is a member of the Hire Association of Europe and as association members we share the common commitment to the highest standards of professional conduct and ethical business practice. This commitment is enshrined in the Association’s Code of Conduct.

Professional excellence requires a level of innate ability, combined with training, experience and dedication. It also demands that certain standards of behaviour are observed and practiced. These standards help those engaged in the hire and rental industry to maintain and demonstrate the highest standards at all times. They also help define the minimum standards that should be expected by customers.

The Association works to promote and raise the standards of service and ethical trading through the adoption of its Code of Conduct covering, in particular, principles of Safety, Quality, Honesty, Fairness, Service and Insurance. Particular emphasis is placed on ensuring that equipment or products hired or rented by customers, or provided by a manufacturer or supplier, are in a safe condition and comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations.

The Code of Conduct is a guideline and does not represent the entire scope of good conduct and ethical behaviour. No Code of Conduct can lay down detailed rules to cover every occasion. The effectiveness of the Association’s Code is dependent on the observance of its provisions in the spirit as well as the letter. Voluntary acceptance of the Code by members is a powerful factor in maintaining and raising standards in the hire and rental industry.

Acceptance of and adherence to the Code of Conduct is a condition of membership. Persistent or serious failure to comply with the Code may render the member liable to expulsion.

The Code of Conduct is available for download from www.hae.org.uk.

MacGregor Industrial Supplies have been working over the past few months to attain the Integrated Management Systems comprising of requirements from
Quality Management System ISO 9001:2008, Environmental Management System ISO 14001:2004, Health & Safety Management System OHSAS 18001:2007 and have recently achieved accreditation.

ISO 9001 is a globally recognised standard and is the world’s most established quality framework around the globe.

ISO 14001 is a tool for managing the impacts of an organization's activities on the environment, and is becoming the standard "Environmental" accreditation being internationally recognised all over the world.

OHSAS 18001 has been designed to be compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, which in turn will help within the MIS organization to meet our health and safety obligations in an efficient manner.

We believe through this accreditation, we will improve customer satisfaction, staff motivation, occupational health and safety management systems and our footprint on the environment.
