We recognise that our clients are the focus of our business and we work closely with their multi-disciplinary project teams to deliver sustainable, optimal and appropriate solutions. We are dedicated to meeting the needs of our clients and achieving a high level of client satisfaction at all times.

Transport Planning Associates is committed to operating the company in compliance with the statutory, regulatory, customer and other requirements of a Quality Management System conforming to the International Standard ISO 9001:2008. We have established a number of quality objectives and these will be regularly monitored and reviewed so that we can maintain continual improvement. We will regularly review this quality policy to ensure it continues to meet the needs of Transport Planning Associates, our staff and our clients.

Transport Planning Associates will ensure that we have the necessary resources for each project and that they are carried out in a professional and timely manner. We shall ensure that all our staff understand and follow our processes and procedures and are able to perform their duties effectively through our ongoing Investors and People strategy.

Investors in People

Investors in People is an internationally recognised business improvement framework that helps businesses to meet their goals and improve performance. The Directors are committed to operating in accordance with the Investors in People Standard to improve the business and its staff.

The Investors in People framework is based on three core principles:

• Plan – Develop strategies to improve performance;
• Do – Take Action to improve performance; and
• Review – Evaluate and improve performance

We have put strategies in place for Learning and Development, People Management and Leadership and Management that will benefit the company and our staff and allow us to achieve the Investors in People accreditation in the near future.

Health and Safety

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires every organisation to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of its employees, and requires it not to put anyone at risk as a result of its activities.

The company’s policy is not only to comply fully with the Act, but to act positively to prevent injury, ill-health, damage and loss arising from the company’s activities. We aim for excellence and seek continuous improvement.

We have obtained the Approved Safe Contractor designation.
