How a divorce can have an impact on your firm

UDDERSFIELDBASED graphic display specialist Leach has recorded a new industry milestone by becoming one of the first UK suppliers to secure CE certification for its renowned lightboxes.

Twenty configurations of the team’s LED-lit products have been individually assessed as part of a rigorous two-month, independent audit by UKAS-approved test house SGS.

“CE certification is common among consumerfacing products, but is less apparent in the B2B space,” said Mike Willshaw, head of innovation at Leach.

“However, brands – particularly retailers – are becoming increasingly astute when conducting their due diligence, so it’s no longer enough for lightboxes to simply look the part.

“They must demonstrate compliance to the highest standards, too.”

News of Leach’s CE certification comes in the same month that the Bradley-based team recorded a Net Promoter Score of 63 from its customer base – a figure that far outperforms the industry’s 16-point average.

Managing director Richard Leach said: “There can be no denying that the business environment remains tough, particularly for some of our retail customers.

“But, for us, this means there’s never been a more important time to deliver consistently high-quality products, a responsive service and value for money.”
