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.
“Receiving the Gold Award from ARCA is a testament to the professionalism and attention to detail our teams bring to every site. It reinforces our reputation as a trusted, competent partner in high-risk environments.” - Liam Moore, General Manager
Whether working in live substations, rail environments, or occupied commercial buildings, we remain focused on setting the benchmark for health & safety, environmental compliance, and operational excellence.

Orpington Maintenance Delivery Unit have been utilising Econ’s Services since the commencement of the new Environmental Services contract in October 2021. Since mobilisation Econ have provided our DU with a very efficient and professional service. The customer service and contract team are very friendly and approachable. I use the services of Econ primarily for Non-Emergency call outs which includes both general litter picking and fly tipping jobs as well as larger and more complex waste issues. Every job that I raise is acknowledged and responded to within a quick timescale. Following the completion of each job, I receive a signed completion certificate including photos and detailed commentary. Similarly the period payment reporting is issued on time with full back up information for ease of reference. This enables us to identify jobs and authorise payment quickly. I can strongly recommend the services of Econ who have improved the levels of service previously experienced and assisted our team with the resolution of a number of more difficult and costly cases on our patch.
