Commercial vehicle sales and conversion specialist CPD has achieved Achilles UVDB Silver Plus accreditation, strengthening its position as a supplier to organisations across the UK utilities and infrastructure sectors.

The accreditation follows the Stockton-on-Tees based firm’s successful UVDB Verify Category D audit, where the company achieved 98% for Health & Safety and 100% across Environmental Management, Quality and Sustainability. CPD also scored highly on sustainability, reflecting its recent investments in green energy and off-grid facilities.

CPD is now fully registered on both the Achilles Network and UVDB, covering capabilities including commercial and specialist vehicles, vehicle bodybuilding, maintenance and fleet management services.

Gareth Jones, executive director at CPD, said: “Achilles UVDB Silver Plus gives customers independent assurance of the standards behind our business.

“For organisations operating across utilities and infrastructure, safety, quality and sustainability are fundamental. Achieving 98% for Health & Safety and 100% across Environmental Management, Quality and Sustainability demonstrates the strength of the processes we have in place.”

CPD supplies commercial vehicles, Type-Approved conversions, specialist builds and fleet lifecycle services to operators across the UK. The company also operates as Farizon’s dealer in the North East.
