Power to OUR People!

Posted on June 14, 2010

Irwin Group has demonstrated yet again it’s strength in the face of adversity and this has been recognised by the decision made by DELNI,  Department of Employment and Learning), to award Irwin Group the INVESTORS IN PEOPLE | Northern Ireland accreditation for the second time in a row.

To be able to come through what was one of the toughest global recessions any of us have faced and receive this prestige endorsement speaks volumes about the loyalty and commitment to all our staff and senior management team.

Without the clear vision, passion, personalities, communication, continuous development, respect and trust being empowered from MD level right down to apprentices throughout the firm, this achievement would not have been possible.

A staff member had this to say about Irwin Group’s founder John Irwin, regarding the confidence shown in our staff over the past year or so: “The fact that John put the retention of all staff his first priority before he looked at other business strategies sent out the message that the most important thing in the company was us. This was real action, not just talk”

With the hope that the worst of the economic downfall is fading behind us, Irwin Group will continue to show that we are not just leaders in the electrical industry but that we can continue to lead the way in empowering and developing our people for everyone’s potential to be realised.
