A PLASTERER is going from strength to strength after attaining the industry ‘gold standard’.

Dominic Maringo, 53, from Accrington, has achieved an industry-recognised mark of health and safety excellence.

He has also completed a course in plumbing.

Mr Maringo completed the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme, which proves he can comply with strict health and safety standards.

The accreditation is just the latest feather in Mr Maringo’s cap since he established his business, D Maringo Plastering, in 2008.

He said: “It’s important to be multi-skilled nowadays.”

Mr Maringo received help from business support organisation No Limits.
