From one of our clients…

British International Helicopters Limited, appointed Cansford Laboratories for our in-house drug and alcohol testing and our back-up sample collection service in July 2021.

From initial enquiry, right through to implementation of the new policy, Cansford have been instrumental in guiding BIHSL through all stages of launching this Policy.

We are incredibly satisfied with their service, their face-to-face training was delivered professionally and they are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.

We would highly recommend Cansford for any business who are considering launching and rolling out a similar Policy in the future.
