FSQS will help Q3’s relationship with financial services clients

Q3 Services has a growing involvement with the financial services sector, which has prompted the company to successfully complete FSQS (Financial Services Qualification System) accreditation.

The FSQS accreditation is valued by many of the leading institutions in the financial services sector, as it provides a standard methodology for collecting, managing and auditing supplier compliance information.

Commenting on the award, CEO Martyn Freeman said, “We believe that financial services represent a significant opportunity as part of our growth plans and the FSQS accreditation demonstrates our commitment and ambition to grow that sector.”

Q3 is now a Recognised Service Provider by the Living Wage Foundation

We’re pleased to announce that Q3 Services is now a Recognised Service Provider by the Living Wage Foundation.

Q3 believe in paying a decent wage to our staff, who carry out vital work for many organisations, and therefore always provide a Living Wage costed bid to our prospective clients. This provides them with the opportunity to decide if the Living Wage is right for their organisation.

Commenting on the award, CEO Martyn Freeman said, “One of the ‘Qs’ that makes up the Q3 brand is ‘Quality People’. Quality People are the key to Quality Service and this has been part of our motivation for supporting the Living Wage Foundation in its aims for fairness and recognition.”

A few hours of volunteering to help out a local Parish Council

Two of our Landscape teams based out of Andover, recently undertook a clear up operation in the picturesque village of Upper Clatford, Hampshire.

The Parish Council had cut back overgrown vegetation which had begun to obstruct the public pathways in the Above Town area and needed a helping hand to clear up and dispose of the cuttings.

Aster Group manage housing in Above Town, and their Estate Services Department brought the issue to our attention. We offered our services free of charge and undertook the work on a voluntary basis, so that the Parish Council would not incur any costs. This project is typical of the work Q3 teams embrace as part of our commitment to delivering social value in the communities in which we operate.

So, while Elliott and Paul carried out the routine verge cutting and maintenance which is part of our contract with Aster Group, step forward Jamie and Braden to tackle the task of removing the vegetation and debris.

The team had the place spruced up in short measure and had a truck load of waste for their troubles. This was all removed from site and disposed of sustainably – 100% of the vegetation was recycled.

All in a day’s work for our Landscapes teams!
