Reassessment
Douglas, ISLE OF MAN, - Bridson & Horrox,
the Island's leading printing services and office products company,
is celebrating achieving the Investors In People (IiP) award for
best practice in staff training and development. The award
was made following a thorough, independent reassessment
process; the company was originally awarded IiP in June
2006.
Isle of Man Government Department of Trade and Industry Minister
David Cretney, MHK, was on hand to help with celebrations. He
toured Bridson & Horrox's facilities, spoke with management and
staff and learned how the IiP business improvement framework has
assisted in Bridson & Horrox's continued business success.
"We've found Investors in People to be an excellent tool in
identifying ways of improving our performance and a solid framework
for continuous development," said Darren Horrox, managing director
at Bridson & Horrox. "With IiP, we've implemented initiatives
that have had a positive and direct impact on productivity,
production and quality. We've also seen improvements in team
motivation and have reduced staff turnover."
Bridson & Horrox was founded in 1933 and has since built a
reputation as the Island's premier supplier of printing and office
product solutions. IiP touches every aspect of the company's
business and is key to its customer service ethic.
IiP is Britain's leading people management standard. It provides
a simple and flexible framework helping thousands organisations of
all sizes and sectors to improve their business performance. Formed
in 1993, Investors in People UK is a non-departmental public body
and is responsible for business planning, policy development and
promotion of the Investors in People framework.
Bridson & Horrox has also recently gained ISO accreditation
from the World Certification Services-UK with stages one and two
14001:2004 of the enviromental management system, and had been
reassessed to the IS0 9001:2008 standard for quality management for
the management and distribution of printed and digital products and
the distribution of office supplies.
