Charles Cheriton, Director of Health & Safety, accepted into Asbestos Management Institute (AMI)

Econ Group are proud to announce that our valued director Charles Cheriton has been accepted to join the Asbestos Management institute, the UK’s leading professional body for asbestos management professionals.

What is the Asbestos Management Institute?

The AMI is the official institute representing experts in asbestos removal, analysis, consultancy, and management. Its mission is to uphold and promote best practice, technical competence, and ethical standards in asbestos management across the UK. Members benefit from a comprehensive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme, industry-led events, policy forums, and professional recognition across an eight-tier membership structure ranging from Affiliate to Fellow.

Membership in AMI demonstrates a strong commitment to maintaining high standards in safety, regulation, and industry leadership. Full membership - such as that granted to Charles - also enables access to the AMI Skills Card, a CSCS-registered qualification demonstrating competence and compliance on worksites.

Why Charles’s Acceptance Matters

Charles brings extensive experience in asbestos consultancy, project oversight, estimating and stakeholder coordination. His selection for AMI membership recognises:

  • His technical competence and leadership in asbestos removal and site management.
  • His commitment to staying up-to-date through AMI’s CPD activities and industry events.
  • His adherence to rigorous standards of health, safety, and ethical practice.

"I'm delighted to have been accepted into the AMI, it demonstrates my competences in Asbestos Management and further shows Econ's continual efforts in providing the highest quality of service." - Charles Cheriton, Director of Health & Saftey.

What This Means for Econ Group

By supporting Charles’s AMI membership, Econ Group reaffirms our commitment to excellence in asbestos management and consultancy. As an AMI Full Member, Charles gains:

  • Access to cutting-edge guidance and best practice frameworks.
  • Networking opportunities with leading asbestos professionals.
  • Enhanced credibility when advising clients or conducting asbestos surveys, site remediations, and compliance assessments.

This development aligns strongly with Econ Group’s values and services in asbestos risk management, contaminated land remediation, and compliance-focused consultancy. This should further recognise Econ Group as a leader in the Asbestos Removal UK market and support our contiunall efforts in meeting client's needs and requirements for safe, effective and high quality services..

Our Client is extremely pleased at the way we, supported by Econ, have dealt with the situation. From the moment you confirmed that notifiable asbestos was present, a focused, concerted effort has been made by Econ to deal with the problem. The client was impressed at the speed in which Econ tabled a strategic proposal to the HSE to remove the asbestos, working 24/7 non-stop, to expedite the removal. The fact that the proposal, including approval by the HSE, was achieved in such a short timescale is credit to Econ. The proactive approach, while being flexible and accommodating to allow key ECR staff to work in a safe, isolated contained area, has really impressed the Network Rail team.
