Celebrating the award Yvonne Worthington, HR Manager at GHA Livigunn, said:

“The achievement of Investors in People Gold is a fantastic reflection of the commitment, support and ’can-do’ attitude of every individual who makes up the GHA Livigunn Group. The standard not only encapsulates where we are now but will also help us in our endeavours going forward to support and develop our team as the Group forges on to further success.“

Kevin Mellor, Investors in People Specialist said:

“During my assessments it was evident that the GHA Livigunn Group has clear vision and core values that are lived and breathed throughout the organisation.

“As part of their culture they encourage involvement, empowerment and decision making at an appropriate level. All staff described the culture warmly and many told me how they loved being part of the GHA Livigunn family; I was therefore delighted to award them the Gold Standard at their first assessment.“

Mike Jennings, Director at GHA Livigunn added:

“Our company ethos has always been ’passionate about people, confident about challenges’ and the award of Investors in People Gold showcases just how important that philosophy is to us. It is a huge milestone on our journey towards excellence and we look forward to continuing to work with Investors in People to further develop our people and strengthen the group offering.

“We have been told that there are only approximately 50 organisations in the North of England to have achieved Investors in People Gold at their first assessment, so we are delighted to be part of such an elite category of first time Gold achievers.“
