Impact for Gray and Adams

This certification represents our commitment to employees, customers, and partners. It ensures a safer workplace, more robust training, ongoing investment in modern technology and equipment, and a culture where everyone can go home safe each day.

We aren’t just building high-quality products, we’re fostering a safer workplace, a stronger culture, and a better future for our industry.

Achieving ISO 45001 reflects our belief that no job is so important that it cannot be done safely. Continuous improvement is central to this standard, and we remain committed to enhancing our processes to create an even healthier and safer environment.

“Gaining this certification has been a team effort. I want to thank the Gray and Adams team for their diligence, discipline, feedback, and commitment, all of which made this possible,” said David Smith, Group Quality Manager.

Triple Certification

Gray and Adams now holds triple ISO Certification, including ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001. This ensures we continue delivering high-quality vehicles while operating in a greener, safer environment. Our commitment to BSI (British Standards Institution) certifications lays strong foundations for quality, reliability, sustainability, and workplace safety.

“These three standards work together to create a Total Management approach,” said Chris Grieve, HSE Manager. “It’s not just about compliance, it’s a competitive advantage that keeps our manufacturing chain ethical, unbroken, and performing at its best.”

This milestone reinforces Gray and Adams’ commitment to a safer, higher-quality, and more sustainable workplace, strengthening both our team and the trust of our customers and partners.
