Forty-four companies praised as North East leads the UK

More than 40 North East businesses and organisations have won praise for improving the skills of their employees and their business performance in challenging economic times.

The 44 businesses, ranging from construction, engineering and electronics companies to local authorities and organisations working in the education, health, arts and training sectors were all presented with their Investors in People accreditation or certificate for a successful review at a special event held at Bowburn in County Durham.

Robert Macleod, Managing Director of Investors in People North East, said: “All these organisations should be congratulated for their commitment and for recognising that support is available to help businesses outperform competitors during these challenging times.

“There are now more than 2,000 organisations in the North East working with IIP and there are more people employed by organisations using IIP than any other region in the UK. Businesses are facing really challenging times at the moment so it is vital they use every tool at their disposal to help them deal with change, reduce wastage and improve their skills levels.”
