Xmo Strata Wins Top Health Award
16 July 2009
Sign installation and maintenance company Xmo Strata has added to its groaning trophy cabinet.
TV newsreader Katie Derham presented Managing Director Steve Martin with the Health, Work and Well-being Award for Small Business in the South of England at the National Business Awards Regional Programme black tie event at The Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, London on Tuesday July 14.
Xmo Strata has depots and crews based all over the UK but is based in Marden, Kent. The company counts retailers, retail parks, financial institutions and oil company forecourt chains amongst its customers and has a long record of commitment to genuine health and safety.
The judges praised the company for culture, and for leadership, innovation and employee engagement “fuelled by regulatory challenges and growth”.
“To win an award like this from a list of finalists which was dominated by health and wellbeing companies was absolutely phenomenal,” said Mr Martin.
“Health and safety nowadays is about much more than simply looking after your employees, although that is clearly a key motivating factor. It's closely linked to training, staff development and quality and is about generating value for customers by reducing repeat call outs and getting the work right first time. It is also - of course - about reducing the customer's exposure to liability.”
Lorraine Agnew, of headline sponsors Orange, said: “The success of each winner should be highlighted so that suppliers, partners and customers know that they are dealing with an organisation that is forward thinking and vibrant in its approach.”
The company's awards cabinet is packed with awards going back years, many of them from customers such as BP.
