Cougar gain the BSI Kitemark
Luton based Cougar bodyshop has recently gained the BSI Kitemark certification in just six months - setting the high standards that consumers/fleet managers expect when having their cars repaired.


To gain the highly-regarded Kitemark, the vehicle body repair shops must prove that they conform to tough standards. These include strict requirements that focus on skills, repair methods, equipment and materials. All these elements are then assessed by independent BSI inspectors and must meet stringent benchmarks if the valuable Kitemark is to be awarded by BSI.


Cougar bodyshop who celebrate its 20th birthday this year have a 50,000sqft site, 50 staff and repair over 300 cars a month. Cougars managed to gain the Kitemark certification after just six months.


Virgil Blennerhasset, general manager at Cougar commented: 'We were very keen to gain the prestigious Kitemark as its a sign of quality and safety. We were fortunate as we have quite a few manufacturer approvals therefore this has helped is prepare for the Kitemark and played a part in achieving the certification in a short amount of time.


'In addition training has always been an important aspect of our business so staff took to the ATA training positively. I feel now with the Kitemark it has improved our housekeeping and ensure that each member of staff follows the appropriate methods to repairing a car- putting more emphasis on the individual. Looking forward we have already received positive feedback from our work providers and we hope to gain more business following our recent Kitemark certification.'


Eric Friend, BSI Kitemark Certification Manager added: 'We are impressed with the dedication shown by the team at Cougar bodyshop in achieving the Kitemark and we truly believe that it will benefit their organisation and their customers. By gaining the certification it demonstrates how serious the bodyshop is about getting critical vehicle body repair safety processes right.'
