Global Wind Service gains UKAS Category C accreditation for Statutory Inspections

Date: October 19, 2021

We are pleased to announce that, Wind turbine installation and service company Global Wind Service UK ltd (GWS) has just obtained UKAS Category C accreditation for Statutory Inspection Services.

“I am delighted that we have been awarded our UKAS 17020 type ‘C’ accreditation for our Inspection services, this is another step forward in our continuous improvement on our quality of service to our customers” said Martin Roberts, Area Manager UK at Global Wind Service.

To obtain accreditation GWS has continuously taken different measures and steps towards fulfilling the requirements for accreditation. The process has been somewhat delayed due to the corona pandemic.

I am extremely proud of our statutory inspections team who have been working with this. They have done a tremendous job and obtaining UKAS accreditation is not something that comes easily. It is an important achievement for us, and seal of approval towards our clients

Michael Høj Olsen, CEO of Global Wind Service.

Global Wind Service offers full-scope statutory inspection services for all types of wind farms and wind farm projects. Multi-disciplined inspectors are trained to inspect a wide range of different equipment in accordance with LEEA and UKAS guidance. Last year GWS obtained full LEEA (The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association) membership after only 6 months of preparatory works.

GWS’ Statutory Inspections team is headed by UK Area Manager Martin Roberts who has six years’ experience in managing a Renewables Inspection Division and fifteen years’ management experience within the Wind Industry. Team project manager Iain Webster (in the photo) has twenty-five years’ experience in carrying out Statutory Inspections across the Petrochemical and Renewable Industries
