The Wilde Group celebrates the award of the Achilles accreditation and an improvement on the previous years’ scores.

Following a two day audit at Head Office and a site visit the Wilde Group has been awarded the Achilles accreditation and received recognition for its commitment to health, safety, quality and the environment.    This award has stringent requirements with regard to policies and procedures and focuses on how that information is communicated through the workforce.  Some of the comments received were:

• The company has developed a good standard policy which covers the relevant areas. It has also developed a health and safety management system. The health and safety policy statement shows commitment and the management system implements that commitment. The commitment is continued within the activities on site.
  
  
• Site responsibilities were clearly defined and appropriate, and employees were involved in the continual improvement of health and safety through a number of methods such as monitoring, reporting accidents, incidents, near misses and training.
  
  
• The company are aware of their obligations to the health and welfare of their employees and take appropriate measures.
  
  
• Introduction of comprehensive job packs and re-vitalising their near miss reporting procedures demonstrates their commitment to continuous improvement. The acceptance of, and adherence to, the company's significantly improved Health and Safety systems and procedures illustrates the commitment of site personnel to continuous improvement.

Overall we have improved by the following percentages:

This accreditation compliments those already held by the Group – Constructionline and Chas -  and demonstrates our commitment to health, safety and the environment.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary an afternoon tea party was held at Harlestone Firs.  All staff members from the group along with close family and friends of the MD, were invited, there were games, guess the baby photos, bottle tombola and a raffle. A long term service award was presented to Gordon Skelton for 25 years continuous employment.

Following a heart warming speech, Silas (Managing Director) was presented with a bottle of vintage port and a commemorative framed storyboard, along with a card signed by all staff.
