CPW Wins Coveted Investors in People Award

We are thrilled to announced that CPW has won the UK Employer of the Year – Silver category at the prestigious Investors in People Awards 2022.

The Investors in People Awards celebrates the very best employers, organisations and individuals from across the UK. In a record-breaking year for entries, CPW won the 250+ employees Silver category and beat seven competitors to the top spot.

Dee Pardoe, Operations Manager, said: “We are so pleased to have won this award as we care about our staff and pride ourselves on giving them the time and resource to develop and upskill. ‘People are our power’ is our ethos and we live by that every day.

“Since we were established in 1978, we have been committed to empowering our teams by investing in every individual, building a strong culture and delivering a clear vision for the business and its future. I’m therefore thrilled this was recognised by the Investors in People judging panel.”

Andy Hill, Director, added: “Supporting and developing our staff is one of our key priorities, so winning the Investors in People Employer of the Year award is a real triumph and testament to our dedication to being a great place to work. More than 50% of our turnover is invested back into our people, supporting them in employment and dedicated training. We’re particularly committed to developing our own talent and growing from within to provide opportunities for all. As a result, many directors began their careers with us as apprentices.

“It’s a really exciting time for the company, with our biggest cohort of trainees to date joining earlier this year, opening a new office in Oxford to better support our clients in the area, and some exciting promotions across the entire business.

“We’re also recruiting across all our offices to better support clients, the regions we work in and our ambitious business growth strategy. We aim to be a friendly and welcoming workplace with a range of interesting projects and exciting clients, so we hope this highly respected accolade will encourage talented individuals to join us.”

Paul Devoy, CEO at Investors in People, said: “The Investors in People Awards 2022 marks a new chapter for us. We came together again after three years in our biggest celebration of exemplary leaders and organisations who have transformed themselves into a force of good despite the challenges. I am proud of every organisation that entered this year, demonstrating the value in making work better and setting an example for other organisations to do the same.”
