Bridson & Horrox is celebrating its Investors In People (IiP) re-accreditation for best practice in staff training and development. 

The printing and office products company was originally awarded IiP a few years ago; the latest recognition was given following a thorough reassessment process.

Isle of Man Government Department of Trade and Industry Minister David Cretney MHK, was present for the 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 a leading supplier of printing and office product solutions.  IiP, which is generally considered to be Britain's leading people management standard, touches every aspect of the company's business and is key to its customer service ethic.

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.
