Investors in People - 07/05/2008
We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have achieved Investors in People accreditation.
This was confirmed by the East Midlands recognition Panel of EMQC at their May 1st board meeting, and subsequently posted on their website.
Accreditations have been awarded separately for each company in our Group, and are effective from 1st May 2008.
We will proudly be displaying the Investors in People logo on all literature going forward.
Group Chairman, Mark Deane commented on the news:
"I am personally delighted with this massive achievement. We have been on a mission to gain recognition for a long time. Thanks to a concerted effort this year led by our HR Manager, Denise Peat, we have been rewarded for our efforts.
I have stated all the way through the process, that we do not want IIP just for the plaque on the wall.
We passionately believe in the principles of the standard and we have a culture here where we genuinely care for our employees, we appreciate they are the most important part of the business and we wish them to develop their careers with us.
Having now achieved accreditation, I see this as only the beginning, and at the next round of management meetings we will be pushing on with initiatives to involve our people even further"

Investors in People - 02/05/2008
We have completed our external assessment for all three Group companies. The recommendation is for acceptance across the board, so we are just waiting for the final rubber-stamping.
This is just reward for the efforts that have been put in over the past year, and will benefit each and every employee going forward.
As soon as we hear the confirmation of our accreditation, we will post the news on this website.
