Tony Sneesby, the Operations Manager at Forth’s Barrow-in-Furness base,said: “Having this JOSCAR accreditation gives organisations we work with in the defence industry - such as BAE Systems in Barrow - the confidence that Forth meets all the required standards to work in a highly regulated environment.

“Forth has been working successfully in the nuclear industry for more than 20 years and we are known for our quality standards and compliance. We also have a proven ability to respond quickly and use our vast knowledge and experience to find solutions to challenges in a range of industries.

“The seal of approval from JOSCAR means that our current and future customers can have extra confidence in Forth and our products as we have the capacity and technical ability to deliver on projects of this scale.

“Many of these organisations have strict security requirements which are becoming more and more important to clients of all sizes, therefore being associated with JOSCAR helps to inform our customers that we meet these high levels of protection for their systems and data.”
