We have established a performance culture where staff feel valued and want to come to work and perform for the good of the business.

An integral part of achieving this culture is the annual appraisal and development discussion between each member of staff and his/her line manager. We are working towards an industrial relations climate that is positive, with employment policies which respect human rights and equal opportunities as well as facilitating training to develop staff and enhance competence. We are committed to the principles of fairness and dignity at work.

Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicants concerned. In the event of a member of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment continues and that appropriate training is arranged. It is our policy that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.
