Pelican Procurement Services achieves Investors in People standard

Pelican Procurement Services, the procurement and supply chain management specialist, has been awarded Investors In People (IiP). As the UK’s leading people management standard IiP helps organisations to improve business performance through their people.

In its report of Pelican, special reference was made to its strong framework of customer and people focused values and the physical evidence of these in practice throughout the business.

The accreditation, which included interviews among 20 members of its 60-strong team at the Surrey-based business, was awarded following a two day on-site assessment of key business areas. This included strategy, learning and development, and management and effectiveness of performance.

Christine Stimpson FCIPD, Director at Pelican Procurement Services said: “Forming client and supplier relationships is central to our business so looking after our people and ensuring that they are motivated to perform is essential. For me, that’s what makes achieving Investors in People status such a great accolade.”

We have worked hard to ensure that our core values are echoed right across the business and for this to come through so strongly in the report is praise indeed for all employees who embody our values in all their day to day interactions. As well as recognising the talent and commitment of people across the business it also symbolises the first step of our journey to continuing the development of our business as we pursue additional levels of accreditation“, adds Christine.
