ALTRO RETAINS ITS PLACE IN THE PRESTIGIOUS SUNDAY


TIMES TOP 100 Altro has been ranked 83 in the coveted Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For 2018 list. This is the 11th time the family- founded, Letchworth-based company has featured in this prestigious list.


The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For list is the annual ranking of ‘the cream of Britain's happy and motivated workforces’. With more than 1,000 companies registered to take part, it is considered the most extensive research into employee engagement carried out in the UK.


Altro’s 350 UK employees were invited to take part in the survey, which asked questions about how the support they receive from the company, their training and development and opportunities for career growth, amongst others. The company again scored well, showing a continued commitment to employees.


Altro’s CEO, Richard Kahn, said: “We are delighted to be selected for the eleventh time as one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK. Since 1919 we have kept an ethos of family in the workplace, as we value our employees and the contributions they make. We are happy to see that our employees agree, which means we are continuing to provide a supportive and family-orientated environment that we have always committed ourselves to for nearly 100 years.”

Building on Bond It’s success in holding ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 for 11 and six years respectively, the UK-based manufacturer of sealants, adhesives and building chemicals has now successfully transitioned to the 2015 versions of both standards.


The well known standards, which are employed and trusted by organisations across the globe, are revised and updated on a regular basis to ensure their continued relevancy in an ever- evolving business world.


All organisations certified to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 must transition to the new 2015 versions by midnight on the 14th September 2018


after which certification to the earlier variants will no longer be valid.


To achieve certification to ISO 9001:2015, organisations must not only demonstrate the robust quality management systems demanded by the previous 2008 version but also meet a number of further criteria.


Commenting on Bond It's certification to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015, Graham Helm, operations director at the company, said: "The entire team at Bond It is delighted to have received the latest ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications.


"It's a testament to the quality and environmentally conscious approach that prevails throughout our business. It also provides our customers with independent reassurance of our belief in maintaining the highest standards in every area - regardless of whether that's product manufacturing, service delivery, staff training or environmental performance."

NEW WAREHOUSE FACILITY ENHANCES EFFICIENCY FOR


F. BALL CUSTOMERS A newly-constructed 30,000 sq ft offsite distribution warehouse will provide customers of F. Ball and Co. Ltd. with enhanced efficiency and extend the company’s ability to maintain its next day delivery guarantee as demand for products continues to grow.

management information system by a secure virtual private network.


As such, despatch of next day orders can be seamlessly shared between the two sites, enabling simultaneous distribution of the full range of F. Ball products from both locations.


Commenting on the new warehousing facility, F. Ball Managing Director Mark Hughes said: “As well as providing greater flexibility and efficiency, the new warehousing will enable us to accommodate medium term growth and also ensure we can meet our delivery commitments at times of peak demand.”
