Going for gold
March 1st 2010 Hughes Safety Showers is reported to
be the first manufacturer in the North
West of England to achieve the
Investors in People Gold Award. The
company has held Investors in People
accreditation since 2002 and this is the
latest extension to the award.
"When we were due for our reassessment,
which takes place every
three years, we decided to
raise the bar and go for
gold,' says managing
director Tony Hughes.
After an initial meeting
with the assessor, it was
clear we already had
almost everything in place
to meet the criteria. A
week later we were
undergoing the rigorous
assessment which
involved interviews with randomly
selected members of staff, from
management to the factory floor."
Together with acquiring ISO14001,
The Investors in People Gold award,
tops off a successful year for Hughes
Safety Showers. The company also
recorded strong growth during 2009
with a 10% increase in sales and a
35% increase in overseas business. More articles from Hughes Safety Showers Limited: |
