Who are The Gas Safe Register?
The Gas Safe Register (formerly CORGI registered)
On the 1st of April 2009, the CORGI Gas registration scheme was replaced in Great Britain by the Gas Safe Register™. For many years CORGI registered Engineers have stood for safety, expertise and trust. The Gas Safe Register body will continue to symbolise a commitment to the highest possible standards in gas appliance and installation work.
At N Marshall & Son, we are pleased to adhere to the requirements of the gas safety body.

Whats happened to Corgi?
The CORGI brand is historically well-known in the UK and was born out of the Gas Board as a membership of leading gas installers. CORGI subsequently went on to run the mandatory gas scheme for government for many years.
However, the Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI as the gas registration body in GB on 1 April 2009 after the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carried out a review of gas safety in 2006. This led to the decision to change to a new gas registration scheme and the contract was subsequently awarded to Capita Group plc and they launched Gas Safe Register.
Although no longer recognised in law as a gas safety register, CORGI will remain a name in the gas industry as they will continue to offer a range of services and products to gas engineers and to promote them to homeowners through the addition of a new quality-based membership scheme.
