Structura UK has been recognised by the following companies to be highly competent in the use of their products: Schuco NSG Pilkington Reynaers Guardian Glass Industries Technal Kalwall Hueck Comar Geze

Dorma

In June 2013 Structura UK took over the Kalwall distributorship for England, Wales and Northern Ireland from Stoakes Systems. As part of the arrangement, key Stoakes personnel have transferred to Structura UK.

Kalwall is a diffuse light-‐transmitting construction system that is manufactured in the US by Kalwall Corporation. The primary component is a translucent structural composite sandwich panel formed by permanently bonding fibreglass sheets to a grid core constructed of interlocked thermally-‐broken aluminium I-‐beams.

The panels are factory prefabricated to a size and configuration specified for each project. Structura UK managing director Manny Patel said: “Adding Kalwall products to our offering means that we can give architects, specifiers and project managers wider choice of ways to bring light into commercial and leisure buildings. It perfectly complements our existing range of structural and architectural glazing products from market-‐-‐-‐leaders such as Schuco, NSG Pilkington, Reynaers and Hueck.”


1.3 Estimating Our estimating department uses the latest bespoke estimating, optimisation and calculation software packages. From the information derived from our bespoke software, we calculate quotations using spreadsheets that include comparable data from similar contracts previously completed so that we can ensure that the price quoted is accurate and competitive. We constantly analyse past performance by specific types of contract so that we continue to improve efficiency and competitive edge. We use an accounts package that allows our estimating and finance departments to analyse performance against budget. This level of information enables us to offer clients a ‘partnering’ or ‘framework’ agreement approach, with rates agreed in advance, in return for a commitment from clients for future work. Tender submissions are prepared in a clear and concise manner, paying great attention to our responsibilities as a specialist contractor.

1.4 Health and Safety As a specialist glazing contractor, Health and safety are of paramount importance for every project. Health and safety are taken into consideration from the earliest planning stages of a project, through to safety on site and the requirements for compliance with current Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations. We ensure that all of our staff and sub-‐contractors are aware of the project Health & Safety Plan, including all relevant Risk Analysis Management Systems (RAMS) and conform to these. Structura UK is a member of Achilles, the Constructor’s Health & Safety Scheme CHAS, the Construction Health & Safety Group (CHSG) and holds OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management. Please see Appendix A for copies of current membership certifications. HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT

We are committed to the prevention of injury and ill health and providing a safe working environment for our employees and others who may be affected by our activities. Compliance with legislation including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is the minimum acceptable standard and we are committed to achieving the highest levels of health and safety performance through continual improvement. Health and safety is an integral part of our business and has equal status to other aspects of business performance. Appropriate financial and physical resources will therefore be provided to implement this policy. We recognise that successful health and safety management can only be achieved with the support and commitment of our employees. All employees will be actively encouraged to take ownership of Health and Safety and empowered to assist in decision-‐making. All employees and contractors will be made aware of their Health and Safety obligations and compliance with this policy is a condition of employment. We will ensure that this policy is documented, implemented and maintained, and communicated and understood at all levels throughout the organisation.


Responsibilities for health and safety are defined in our Health and Safety Management System which conforms to the requirements of OHSAS 18001. The day-‐to-‐day management of health and safety is a responsibility of managers at all levels but overall responsibility rests with the Managing Director. To assist with the implementation of our Health and Safety Management system, professional external advice will also be obtained where necessary. To facilitate continuous improvements in health and safety standards we will identify specific health and safety objectives. A programme for the objectives will be outlined with timescales and responsibilities. Progress towards the objectives will be closely monitored. Periodic auditing of our Health and Safety Management System will be undertaken to ensure its continued suitability and effectiveness and we will review this policy at least annually and revise it as often as is appropriate. This policy will be made available upon request to all interested parties.

1.5 Contract Management Our contract management team controls all Structura UK contracts. Projects are planned in detail and we continually monitor progress to ensure that the right number of staff with the right skills are on site as the project demands. The contract team also ensures that the site is supplied with quality-‐assured materials to enable them to work quickly and efficiently with the minimum number of unexpected complications. Weekly contract meetings, led by the Contracts Director, mean that we can identify any potential problems and rectify them early on to enable site teams to complete jobs to the highest standard on time and on budget.

1.6 Quality Management Structura UK is one of few owner-‐operated curtainwalling and cladding specialist companies with triple certification. We have held BS EN ISO 9001 accreditation since 1995 and in 2012 we were awarded OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management and ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification. We ensure skilled, trained staff are always available by pursuing a rigorous training structure at all levels throughout the company. We maintain regular management reviews to ensure continuous improvement in all our procedures and services. Our suppliers are required to conform to all aspects of Structura UK’s quality system and are vendor-‐rated to ensure our approved suppliers base is accurately maintained. Structura UK’s Quality Assurance scheme is designed to ensure the preparation and effective implementation of appropriate procedures and instructions to achieve the required specification of design, product and service. The company’s mission is to provide a comprehensive personal service comprising consultancy, site survey and design, manufacture and installation, commissioning and acceptance to the satisfaction of the client. The directors are jointly responsible for ensuring that the provisions of the company quality system are understood, implemented and observed throughout the company. Authority for all organisational aspects of quality is the responsibility of the Quality Manager and is independent of other job functions.


QUALITY POLICY STATEMENT The Quality Policy is:

• Issued to and understood by all staff. • Displayed in a prominent position at each premises. • Issued and explained to all new employees. • Made available to anyone who has an interest in the product quality or service offered by the

company. It is Structura UK’s policy to observe a quality assurance system compliant with BS EN ISO 9001 comprising formal procedures which are constantly maintained to meet customers’ needs. Quality depends on taking steps to avoid potential deficiencies, the prompt detection of adverse trends and conditions and the swift implementation of corrective action. External suppliers are covered by the company’s Quality Assurance System.

1.7 Design The company’s design facilities mean we can offer in-‐house and approved supplier sub-‐contract services in both structural engineering and design draughting, with structural design concept analysis and precise detail design drawings of the highest standard. We use current Auto Cad computer aided design equipment and software including the latest Autodesk Inventor 3D package. All our structural engineers are professionally recognised in their fields by Institutional membership or fellowship.

1.8 Training Structura UK is a full member of the Curtain Walling & Construction Training group (CWCT), based at Bath University and plays an active part in the setting of standards in our industry. Structura UK places great importance on the training of staff at all levels. We regularly review the skills we need to deliver a first class service and we have an ongoing training programme to ensure our staff are able to meet customer’s requirements. Over 95% of our site engineers have been accredited with Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) cards and all outside staff are committed to future NVQs. We have developed our own training logs to provide a structure for the career progression of our staff and to encourage them to constantly improve and develop their skills.

4 INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Structura UK is committed to protecting the welfare of its employees and maintains good industrial relations. Structura UK’s aim is always to successfully complete the contract. Within the contract management organisation, industrial relations will receive an equal level of importance as other key functions. Good industrial relations rely upon effective communication, both on an informal and formal basis. It is the responsibility of the management to ensure adequate procedures are implemented to maintain meaningful dialogue. The day to day relations are the responsibility of the project manager for each contract who has, and is seen to have, a keen interest in ensuring that justifiable grievances are resolved quickly and to the satisfaction of all concerned. Structura UK ensures that employees are made aware (via personal contact with their supervisors, staff appraisals, newsletter, meetings, notice boards etc.) of matters not only relating to industrial relations but also other aspects of the contract to enable employees to share in the commitment to a successful project. Structura UK ensures that employees are aware of their responsibilities within the site organisation and that each manager is fully trained with responsibilities and authority clearly defined. Structura UK ensures adequate working conditions for all employees. All safety, health and welfare conditions comply with statutory requirements. Where Trade Unions are recognised for negotiating purposes, Structura UK ensures:

• Effective arrangements for consultation, communication, negotiation and the settling of grievances and disputes.

• Managers observe agreements and agree procedures. Structura UK has no objection to its employees being members of a recognised Trade Union.


5 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

The management and all who work at Structura UK are committed to the protection of the environment and the prevention of pollution.

The organisation is further committed to ensuring that all its activities are carried out in compliance with the relevant environmental legislation and non-‐legal compliance obligations.

The organisation seeks to minimise waste arising, promote recycling, reduce energy consumption, reduce harmful emissions and, where possible, to work with suppliers who themselves have sound environmental policies.

An essential feature of the environmental management system is a commitment to continual improvement of environmental performance. This is achieved by setting annual environmental improvement objectives and targets which are regularly monitored and reviewed. The objectives and targets are publicised throughout the organisation and all staff are committed to their achievement.

In order to ensure the achievement of the above commitments, the organisation has implemented an environmental management system which satisfies the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 and we are committed to its continual improvement.

This Policy and the obligations and responsibilities required by the environmental management system will be communicated to all employees and contractors working on behalf of the organisation.

This Policy is available to the public on request and will be reviewed periodically to ensure its continuing suitability.

Manish Patel Company Secretary

7.2 Selected Testimonials

National Archives, Kew

“Structura UK was retained as a specialist contractor by ETDE FM to carry out a complex re-‐glazing and refurbishment contract at The National Archives. The building was in full occupation throughout the works and it was critical that the daily operations of the building remained unimpeded. Structura UK’s professional approach to all aspects of the project ensured that the works where carried out on time and on budget. They were responsible for all aspects of the project, including the scaffolding and temporary works elements, replacement of 2,100m² of existing double glazed units and the refurbishment of the existing glazing system, replacement of the existing smoke vent and associated electrical works. Over 40,000 man hours were expended on the project during the 12-‐month on-‐site period without any major incidents or accidents. We would not hesitate to use Structura UK again.”

Shahram Safari, Senior Project Manager, ETDE FM

Evelina Hospital, St. Thomas’ & Guys Hospital Trust, London

“We selected Structura UK to complete the glazing replacement at Evelina Children’s Hospital as they offered an innovative solution to what was an extremely challenging project in the heart of London.

This was an award winning, extremely busy Children’s Hospital, the scale and risk involved were not to be underestimated. Structura UK’s approach was best described as ‘outstanding,’ completed safely, on time, and to budget. Structura will be our first choice selection for future projects.”

Sean Quinn, Contracts Director, MJ Gleeson

Central House, Harrogate

"Structura was principal contractor for the refurbishment and re-‐modelling of the curtain wall installation at Central House, Harrogate, a 200,000sf multi let office building on three floors that was originally built in 1979 as head office for the CEGB. The works were undertaken over a 40 week period whilst the building remained in full occupation throughout. We were very pleased with the way the project ran and Structura ensured that those using the building had appropriate temporary access during the project. I would not hesitate to recommend Structura to manage and deliver this type of project."

Steve Throp, Building Consultancy Director, Savills

Athanaeum Hotel, London

“I worked with Structura UK as the principal contractor for the refurbishment and re-‐modelling of the new windows, doors and balustrading on the Athenaeum Hotel, Piccadilly. The works were undertaken over a 26 week period and required careful and concurrent working with the internal refurbishment contractor. It was difficult at times, particularly at the start, though without the pragmatism, proactive and personal approach of David Rickman and Manny Patel it could have been far more challenging. The final product is something to be proud of and I would not hesitate to recommend Structura to manage and deliver this type of project."

Chris Twigg, Hammonds Consulting

15th August 2012

Structura UK demonstrates commitment to safety, quality and reducing its impact on the environment with triple ISO certifications

Structura UK has become one of the first curtain wall engineering firms to achieve three key ISO standards. The company has this week been awarded OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management and ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification, in addition to the ISO 9001 Quality Management certification which it has held since 1995. Achieving these stringent certifications makes Structura UK one of the first curtainwall engineering firms to actively use an integrated management system which ensures internationally-‐recognised best practice in relation to quality management, health and safety and the business’ impact on the environment. As Structura UK MD Manny Patel explained, “As a leader in the field of glass curtain walling and rain shields, we felt it was important to demonstrate to our staff and our customers how important quality, safety and our impact on the environment are to us. When you are working with large panels of glass, often hundreds of feet in the air, these factors are critical and it is important for us to have clear risk assessments and safety procedures to internationally-‐recognised standards.” The triple standard is designed to enable organisations with complex or high-‐risk processes undertaken at different sites to use a framework that minimises risk and improves standards and performance, whilst making a minimal impact on the environment. Finance Director, Robert Sanders, continued, “Historically, there have been multiple standards used to assess occupational health & safety in particular, and organisations had to choose the standard which was the best fit for their business. The new OHSAS 18001 gives organizations like ours which are committed to minimising risk and optimising efficiency a clear set of standards to work to, so our customers can clearly see the operational and financial benefits of using a contractor with this level of accreditation across the board”. -‐ -‐ Ends -‐ -‐
