15 years investing in people
Veka is celebrating gaining Investor in People for 15 years in a row.
The award not only makes the pvcu system supplier one of the longest-standing in East Lancashire but also came with a glowing report for “a highly professional, customer-focussed team who are proud of Veka and its products.”
Human Resources Manager Gabriela Hammond said everyone at the company was delighted with the award: “As for many companies, 2009 has been difficult but our culture, people development and the efforts of all the workforce have helped us to win through and continue building on our strong foundations for the future.”
The report from the IIP assessor said the decision to continue to train and develop in the current climate was “to be applauded and highly commended” and added: “The employees’ collective pride in the job, high skill levels and customer-focused approach transmits to anyone involved with the organisation.”
Veka has now held IIP since 1994 – only a year after the initiative was launched.
