THE TEAM at a Somerset asbestos removal company has earned a prestigious Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA) Gold Training Award for the third year running in recognition of its high standards (October 2025).
Bridgwater-based S Roberts Group reached a greater-than-average score in training sessions to receive this top industry award.
Asbestos Director, Sam Lawson explains: “This award is only presented to ARCA members who meet rigorous criteria, making it a significant and vital recognition of our team’s exceptional competency in asbestos removal.
“We’re absolutely delighted to receive this accolade, which reflects the dedication and hard work of our team – especially those who achieved above-average scores in training sessions this year.
“Our success was also acknowledged at ARCA’s AGM in October, which makes us incredibly proud. We’re very grateful to everyone involved in this part of our business. Being recognised in this way places us firmly at the very top of our industry, both regionally and nationally.”
The award is reserved for ARCA members who have completed supervisor and operative training courses through the association and have at least eight delegates participating and achieving an average score of 92.5%.

This is a considerable achievement and you and your team should be justifiably pleased.
