Brenda is currently vice chair of the Metal Finishing Association, and a member of the Surface Engineering Association's IPPC club, which assists with the implementation of the Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control legislation.

Stainless Plating currently treats effluents using a number of different methods including reclamation, ion exchange and chemical treatments.

All these have the aim of reducing pollutant levels to enable water to be discharged or reused internally. At present Stainless Plating are able to meet discharge limits but are aware of the potential for further legislation.

Metfin software is used to organise and plan all the company's administration, and production operations. With the facility to store all parts (with pictures), and all finishes and operations, the entering of batch cards is simplified. The benefit of controlling the full process from booking in, right through to invoicing, meant that only minor modifications were required to accommodate the requirements of the Nadcap procedures.
