The Investors in People Standard is a framework of best practice, awarded to well- run organisations that meet set criteria in areas including learning and development, leadership skills, as well as recognition and reward. It’s incredibly rare for a company to obtain an award on their first attempt with Investors in People, so we are extremely proud of our achievement. To achieve the Silver Standard Award, employees of SWR completed an online survey and members of the team were randomly selected for interviews with the assessor, in which they were asked how they felt about working at SWR and the company’s vision and values. Only 24% of all IIP accredited companies achieve Silver or Gold standard, and most take years to reach this level. This award truly recognises the commitment to people and dedication in making SWR a great place to work. SWR’s IIP practitioner Richard Budd, saw the motivation and enthusiasm of SWR shine through saying “Congratulations again on achieving the Silver IIP standard. This is a massive achievement for a company going through the assessment for the first time, and not one many manage to achieve first time around, so the team at SWR should be very proud!” Jason Lee, Managing Director was equally proud of the award and said: “We were delighted to be awarded Silver at the first time of asking, which less than a quarter of IIP companies ever achieve. This recognises the hard work and dedication from everyone at SWR over a long period. We seek to create an environment that is challenging and allows our people the freedom to develop and truly influence the business. As a result our people are increasingly driving the business forward, embracing change and contributing to achieving our aim of making SWR a great place to work. We are immensely proud of all of the SWR family for this achievement, and are looking forward to implementing the recommendations to take things to the next level”. STRONG AND BLACK WITH ANTI-BURGLAR FACILITY How do you make the Black Edition Garage Door Operator even stronger than it is now? “With great difficulty” said Matthew Berry. “Because our customers have installed the operator on doors up to 6 metres wide and 3 metres high, we know the Black Edition is strong enough to take on all domestic doors. However, at NRG Automation we always look to take the next step to secure your customer’s garage” NRG Automation are pleased to announce that The Black Edition has now been upgraded for no extra cost, to include anti-theft software. So, when you get that age-old question, of how secure is this door, you can now drop into your sales pitch that the motor you are going to supply has an anti-burglar device. If anyone attempts to open the door by force, the Black Edition will now turn itself on, and push back against the intruder. Not only will this make it even easier for you to sell the Garage Door Operator, but combined with the rigorous Exova testing that it has just undergone the Black Edition is now not only the best operator on the market, but it is now the easiest for you to sell. If you have not tried the Black Edition, then call NRG Automation on 0151 424 8900, and see what everyone is talking about.
