He was fined £1,200 and ordered to pay a contribution towards prosecution costs somewhere in the region of £1,500 following action taken by Trading Standards.<br /> Saunders used the NICEIC logo on company stationery presented to a customer.<br /> NICEIC’s CEO Emma Clancy said: “We take misuse of our logo very seriously and we welcome this latest prosecution.<br /> “The NICEIC name is associated with quality and we must protect those contractors who are legitimately registered with us and have the quality of their work assessed on a regular basis.<br /> “We must also send out the message that anyone thinking about misusing our logo will be caught and dealt with appropriately by the courts.”<br /> NICEIC stepped up its fight against firms incorrectly using its logo by setting up a wall of shame. Contractors caught falsely claiming to be members will be named and shamed on the NICEIC website and their details passed to Trading Standards.<br /> Anyone who is suspicious of a contractor falsely claiming to be NICEIC registered should check the NICEIC website at <a href="http://www.niceic.com">www.niceic.com</a> which contains a full list of all those approved contractors registered with NICEIC.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-categories field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field--entity-reference-target-type-taxonomy-term clearfix"> <div class="field__label">News Categories</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news-category/niceic-logo-niceic" hreflang="en">niceic logo, NICEIC</a></div> </div> </div> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000 gazza 8031 at https://www.mylocalelectrician.uk
