TIP Trailer Services has been awarded corporate partner status with the Society of Operations Engineers (SOE).
The Carrington-based trailer business says the accreditation will boost recognition for its FleetCare maintenance programme, in particular.
"This partnership offers [our customers] a high level of confidence knowing that TIP is now a corporate partner with one of the UK's leading professional engineering bodies," says Mike Furnival, TIP's commercial director.
The official partner plaque was presented to Dave Parr (right), TIP's maintenance leader for the UK and Ireland, by the SOE's business development manager Roger O'Loughlin.
Parr also received an award last year from the society for his efforts to include heavy vehicle trailer licensing within the irtec technician accreditation scheme.
