IiP Bronze for Your Move Chris Stonock

Your Move Chris Stonock has announced today that it has been awarded the prestigious Investors in People Bronze accreditation.

Ian Cavagan, Area Sales Director reacted to the award by stating “we are delighted to have been awarded Investors in People Bronze which recognises the skills and commitment of the staff to continuous improvement for both its customers and as a good place to work. As an organisation, we are committed to getting the best from and giving the best to our people as we know they underpin our success and the service we deliver to our customers.”

“It was important to us that our staff were well prepared for this accreditation, so our Managers completed a programme to support their development before the assessment. As a result, our staff have never been more motivated and there is a real optimism in the business about the future. All colleagues now have a good understanding of our culture and the contribution they can make to the success of the company.”

It’s only the third estate agency in the North East to receive such an honour and the only agent to be awarded the Bronze standard at first assessment.

Chris Jones, Head of Operations at idg, the Investors in People Centre for the North of England said:

A range of Your Move staff, including directors, sales consultants and apprentices were interviewed as part of the assessment about the company’s approach to staff development, leadership and management and employee engagement.
