Tandragee company receives top training accolade
Tandragee building company John Sinton Limited has become the latest recipient of an Investors in People (IiP) award.
The new Accident and Emergency department of the Craigavon Area Hospital was the venue for the award ceremony, which was attended by representatives from the Hospital Trust, Construction Employers Federation, Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) as well as many architects and surveyors.
The £0.75m extension was completed in eight months following close co-operation between John Sinton Ltd and the hospital, which ensured minimal disruption to the ongoing operations of the existing A&E unit.
Roger Gillespie, MD of John Sinton Ltd, commented: "We are very proud to receive this award. Joining the top 25% of UK companies who hold this particular award gives us great pleasure and the directors firmly believe that investing in the right people contributes greatly to the success of a company.
CITB Regional Manager, Brian Walker, congratulated the company on the achievement, and added: "This standard is a respected badge of quality that will be appreciated by both staff and potential staff, customers and investors. John Sinton have clearly demonstrated that in today's increasingly competitive construction industry, investing in your workforce through training is essential to business success."
