CLA UK is supporting World Mental Health Day today. Mental health problems can affect anyone, any day of the year, but the 10th October is a great day to show your support for better mental health and start looking after your own wellbeing. Today at CLA UK...

CLA UK is proud to announce that as of September 2nd 2018 we have been awarded AEO accreditation for security and safety. This add to the ISO 9001 and SQAS we already possess.

AEO acts increasingly as a quality standard with many larger organisations insisting on this as an integral part of any trading partners. As part of the application process, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) officials stringently assessed, amongst other things, CLA’s finances, site security, shipping procedures, compliance with customs requirements and fulfilment of the relevant legal and safety regulations.

The benefits to our customers can include:

• Greater access to priority clearance
• Reduced administration
• Traceability of flows of goods
• Increased transport security
• Fewer delays in despatch
• Improved security between supply chain partners
• Quicker access to certain customs procedures including some of the HMRC safety and security procedures.
