Link-Up:
Link-up is the UK rail industry supplier qualification scheme, providing a single common registration, qualification and audit process for a supplier that is shared by the UK rail industry. It allows us the opportunity to connect to a network of potential buyers across a whole industry sector.
When just one pre-qualification questionnaire has been completed, and the data verified, our details can be viewed by every single buyer registered in that particular industry sector. We also have the opportunity of discovering more about industry standards and quality requirements which improves our service levels and enables us to have a better appreciation of what is required to match, and beat our competition.

The IIP Standard has been utilised by a wide variety of businesses and organisations since 1991 as a business improvement tool to improve their performance and to align their people with their objectives. The IIP Framework is based around 3 principles:
| PLAN |
develop strategies to improve performance |
| DO |
take action to improve performance |
| REVIEW |

All companies who want to achieve the IIP Standard must fulfil the requirements of the Core Standard to gain recognition. Mane committed to gaining a higher standard and achieved the Bronze award by assessment against 65 requirements. We feel that we achieved this because we have good processes, good systems and most of all because we believe we have great people!
Mane intends to work towards Silver accreditation during 2010.
