Following a detailed assessment process conducted in October, the independent accrediting body concluded that United would retain its Investors in People ‘Standard Award’ with a positive set of feedback.

The assessment outlined a number of key strengths within the business that consistently make it a great place to work, including; friendliness of staff, a trusting and supportive management team, a fast paced working environment and it’s culture of innovation.

“We’re extremely pleased to have once again improved our Investors in People status and plan to continue building on the business’s success, both for our employee’s wellbeing and our client’s satisfaction. We firmly believe that our employee first approach is what makes us tick and are ensuring that this is a long term area for development at United”
