In 2000, Achilles launched the Link-up Audit scheme, which took Link-up a stage further by providing a common auditing process for suppliers of products and services which relate to works undertaken on the railway infrastructure.
To date more than 3600 suppliers and contractors are registered on the Link-up scheme, and over 1500 of these are also participating in the Link-up Audit scheme.
