Accreditation & Standards

CPA Member

Breckland Plant Hire is a proud member of the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) — the UK's leading trade body for the plant hire industry. Membership means you hire from a company held to the highest standards of safety, training, and professionalism.

What is the Construction Plant-hire Association?

The CPA is the UK's primary trade association representing companies and individuals involved in the supply of plant, equipment, and specialist services to the construction and allied industries. Founded in 1941, it represents over 1,700 members across the country.

CPA members are required to operate to strict codes of conduct covering safety, fair trading, and professional practice — giving customers confidence that they are dealing with a reputable, accountable business.

Membership is not automatic. Companies must meet ongoing standards and demonstrate commitment to best practice across their operations.

What CPA membership means for you

When you hire from a CPA member you're protected by a set of guarantees that non-member companies can't offer.

Safety Standards

All CPA members commit to rigorous safety practices. Equipment is maintained, inspected, and delivered in full compliance with UK health and safety legislation.

Code of Conduct

Members operate under an enforceable code of conduct covering fair trading, transparent pricing, and professional practice. There is an independent complaints procedure if things go wrong.

Trained Operatives

Our team are qualified and regularly upskilled in line with CPA and NPORS standards — so you can trust the people as well as the plant.

Clear Contracts

CPA hire contracts are standardised and industry-recognised — you always know exactly what you are agreeing to with no hidden clauses.

Accountability

CPA members are accountable to the association and to their customers. Membership can be revoked for persistent non-compliance — so the standard is real, not just a badge.

Industry Knowledge

CPA members stay up to date with legislation, new equipment, and best practice through training programmes and industry briefings — so you benefit from current expertise.

The CPA Safe Hire Scheme

Breckland Plant Hire participates in the CPA Safe Hire Scheme — an independent audit programme verifying that our equipment, documentation, and processes meet defined safety standards. When you see the Safe Hire mark, you know the plant has been independently checked and is ready for safe use on site.

Independent Audit

Our yard, fleet, and paperwork are audited by a CPA-appointed third party — not self-certified.

Equipment Checks

Every item on hire is verified as roadworthy, serviced, and delivered with the correct documentation.

Regular Review

The audit is repeated on a regular cycle so standards are maintained, not just met once.
