We’d highly recommend the IAA for any fabric or renewable contractor seeking to gain their PAS or MCS accreditations. The IAA’s prompt service, personal support and flexibility from inspectors and the very quick turnaround from application to accreditation make the IAA our provider of choice for accreditation for the foreseeable future. Thank you to all involved, and to Brian for the highly efficient accreditation journey..
