We’re proud to announce that Econ Group has been awarded the ARCA Gold Site Audit Award for the 2024/2025 period, a mark of distinction within the licensed asbestos removal industry.
This prestigious recognition is awarded to member companies who consistently demonstrate the highest standards of site performance, safety, and compliance. To qualify for the Gold Award, a company must achieve an average mark of over 90% across at least six unannounced site audits conducted by the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA) within a 12-month period.
Achieving this status reflects the commitment of our site teams, supervisors, and management to delivering safe, compliant, and high-quality asbestos removal works across all sectors — including critical infrastructure, rail, and industrial projects.

“We were impressed with the approach used by your operation team to carry out the works both professional and diligently. Econ were very accommodating to meet our needs from the initial presentations prepared on strategy to mitigate risks and throughout execution of the works and keeping us fully informed and giving us the confidence we needed. The approach of Econ Site supervisors and visiting managers through to operatives on site was always of a high standard and good-natured and we are pleased to give credit where it is due. On site initiatives by the team from demonstrations /videos of emergency procedures when working in asbestos enclosures and working with consistent site uniforms contributed to the site achieving a Kier ‘Blue’ for best practice and working above standards. This was an excellent example of collaborative working and a joint approach to promptly overcome some of the challenges with asbestos and how best to deal with this along with working near challenging neighbours’ properties, the school and the church.”
