I don't know Chris S, but I used to work with Andy K at Alsthom many moons ago. Helped him get a cast iron bath into his house, probably why I have an hernia.
We exchanged some emails since I've been here but the UK office has no involvement at the moment.
I don't work for VI, but contracting to their UK partner.
We're at a testing stage at the momemt, just on a 400 bag test, once they left my area I wait.... and wait....
In answer to Q, yes VI are doing all controls.
