Kettering based Stanair Industrial Doors have been "re-recognised" by the Investor In People organisation - which means they continue to be officially acknowledged as one of the best employers in the area.
And what has delighted the team at Stanair in particular, is that they were assessed against the new profile standard this year, which benchmarks their performance against other organisations.
Said managing director Michael Markham: "I'm really pleased. Being recognised in the first place is one thing, but re-recognition is often more difficult, and we've come through this test with flying colours.
"This year the organisation have raised the standards...and it's a real feather in the cap that Stanair has met them, and it proves that we continue to take our responsibilities as an employee seriously," said Mr Markham.
"Being recognised as an Investor in People also boosts our credibility in the eyes of our many customers, and our potential new customers.
"They know that we have a fully trained workforce, we make an investment in our staff, and therefore they are amongst the best in the business. It improves our competitive edge because people have confidence in us at all times."
This latest news from Stanair - who are based on the Telford Way Industrial Estate in Kettering - follows on from its award winning 2002. The company won two major awards: the National Training Award 2002 and the National Training Excellence Award, and received the Age Positive Employer Champion Status - only 51 other companies nationwide have been recognised!
