Investment in our Human Capital

Our people are recruited and promoted based on merit. We believe in creating an environment where people feel comfortable at work and able to realise their full potential.

Onboarding is key to our success in retaining our employees we provide comprehensive induction programmes that include; history of our company, product training, a “day in the yard” or “day in the office” experience.

Feedback from our new joiners include “family culture”, “supportive”, “approachable at all levels”.

Developing our people to be the best of their potential is an ongoing commitment from our Company.

Our development/career opportunities include apprenticeships, on-the-job training, cross functional training, mentoring and coaching.

Apprenticeships - investing in apprentices supports our long-term success of the business along with addressing the skills shortage and supporting our local communities.
