Grammar
Using 'is' or 'are'
When using the name of a company, my colleague always writes :
"CH are recognised as a service provider of excellence and have considerable construction experience."
I feel that the bolded words should read 'is' and 'are' as it is one company and not a string of companies.
Am I incorrect and can companies be referred to as above?

Many thanks.
