Whitco successfully passes all 10 ‘Investors in People’ criteria

Whitco has recently been re-assessed for IiP status and is delighted to have successfully passed all 10 criteria.

IiP is awarded to businesses that recognise the importance of their employees in their growth, demonstrate that they involve staff in their development and have management processes in place that clearly communicate the company’s future aims and plans to their employees.

Whitco has grown steadily over the past 12 years and now has over 24 members of staff. As a family-owned business, looking after those who work at Whitco has always been at the heart of the company’s values. Jeff Whitaker, Managing Director, commented:

"We are thrilled to have passed all 10 of the IiP criteria. Having been assessed on effectiveness of management, provision of staff learning and development and the level of involvement of employees in decision-making processes I think this standard is a credit to all who work at Whitco. We wouldn’t be the company we are without them."

"We do not have a high turnover of staff. Most of our staff have been with us over 5 years, some 10 years; we like to think that retaining our IiP status confirms that we are a good company to work for."
