We are extremely pleased to announce that Alba has successfully achieved ISO 45001:2018 accreditation, the world's first global occupational health and safety management system.

Alba as a company strives to continually improve operational systems, and having an effective occupational health and safety management system is paramount.

This is why we are particularly honoured to have successfully achieved this standard, which will operate in conjunction with our current Environmental and Quality management systems. The standard provides Alba with a consistent and measurable approach to safety and compliance, and highlights our ongoing commitment to the occupational health and safety and wellbeing of our employees, clients and suppliers.

Sunny Largs was the venue this year for the Alba Ultrasound Team Building Day - "Pirates of the Cumbrabean".

This year we were joined by some of our colleagues from R2Sonic for a pirate-themed scavenger hunt, and a sailing lesson aboard three 40' yachts on the Firth of Clyde between Largs and the isle of Cumbrae. Check out the photos here.

Alba is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully achieved ISO 14001:2015 accreditation.

It provides Alba with a systematic and process driven approach to controlling all aspects of its business that have an impact on the environment. It also highlights Alba's ongoing commitment to its environmental responsibility.

Alba Ultrasound had our team building event in the glorious sunshine of Scotland. This year Texas came to Stirlingshire in more ways than one as we were joined by our colleagues from R2Sonic in Austin for a Texas Hoedown.

We competed in eight team events ranging from horseshoe pitching and rodeo-riding to archery and clay pigeon shooting. This culminated in a hog-roast followed by a live band with line-dancing and cocktails.

It was agreed by everyone that this was another excellent and worthwhile occasion, with competitive team-building at its core. With this event now a firm fixture in the Alba calendar, we are already looking forward to next year's instalment.

Check out photos of the Hoedown here.

Alba Ultrasound will be exhibiting at the Oceanology International 2018 exhibition in London between the 13th and 15th of March. You can find us at stand A409.

Alba is pleased to announce that we successfully transitioned our Quality System from ISO 9001-2008 to ISO 9001-2015 on the 20th February 2018.

Alba's commitment to quality, incorporates all of our processes and activities through our Business Management System.

Each year we all get out of the office for a day and have great fun competing in challenges, encouraging staff and management to bond and work together in a completely different environment.

This year we competed in a James Bond 007 themed event, some of the pictures are hilarious! Have at look at them here.

We can't wait for next year!

The MMCM program was initiated in 2012 through agreement between the French and UK governments. The aim of this program is to develop an autonomous system intended to be the future of mine counter measure for the Royal and French navies.

Alba was awarded the contract to supply Thales with the very high resolution multi-view sonar arrays for both T-SAS (Towed Synthetic Aperture Sonar) and AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) systems. This represents another key milestone in the ongoing collaborations between our organisations.

On 4th of April 2013, Alba Ultrasound was visited by John Swinney, Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Employment and Sustainable Growth. During his visit, he said the following:

"I was delighted to have the opportunity to visit Alba Ultrasound and to see first-hand the dynamic, innovative approach to business that they have adopted. Alba Ultrasound is a great example of the drive and ambition that we want to see demonstrated by companies of all sizes throughout Scotland.

The Scottish Government is clear that innovation must be recognised and encouraged across the entire business base, and I am pleased that support from Scottish Enterprise, as well as the company's links to academia through the Engineering for the Future programme, has enabled the company to grow from strength to strength. It is entirely fitting that this success was marked last year when the company were awarded the 2012 Queen's Award for Enterprise in recognition of their innovative approach to business."

Commenting on her visit to UKTI and Alba Ultrasound, Glasgow, Minister for Employment Relations, Jo Swinson MP, said:

"Exports play an integral part of the Scottish economy both globally and within the UK single market. Trade with the rest of the UK is worth £45bn - 40% of total Scottish exports.

"We have been doing all we can to grow the UK and Scottish economy to create jobs and opportunities. Today's figures showing unemployment in Scotland is falling should be welcomed.

"I'm delighted that firms like Alba Ultrasound, and support for Scottish businesses by UKTI, are contributing to keeping the UK and Scotland competitive in the global race."

Vic Murray, Managing Director of Alba Ultrasound Ltd said:

"We were delighted to receive the Minister and to be given the opportunity to discuss issues surrounding growth, including the engineering skills base and corporation tax.

"Ms Swinson was keen to see how local SMEs could develop technology that is currently competing at a global level and expanding by exporting products abroad."
