This status is central to the business and demonstrates Active’s commitment to remain at the forefront of the industry.
Karl Pemberton, Active’s Managing Director said: “Active is once again celebrating a successful year, thanks in no small part to the hard work and dedication of our team. The 7% increase in turnover has allowed us to invest in our staff and provide more opportunities for training and development to increase skill and productivity.” “It is essential that small firms like ourselves lead the way with world-class customer service and excellent treatment of our staff. We want to be both a respected business that both new and established professionals trust with their finances, and the employer of choice for the best in the business within the region. “This year on year continued growth forms part of a long-term strategic growth plan for the firm, which has now also enabled us to purchase our prestigious Head Office premises, Active House, in Stockton-on-Tees. This development will see further development in Active’s people and facilities, including improved client and staff areas, client conference facilities, staff gymnasium and change facilities. “This is a key development for Active and one that allows us to secure our future for the next generation. We’re extremely proud of what we have already, so to improve on this can only benefit our offering to clients and staff even further. “Thanks to all our stakeholders for their continued support during this period. We are now looking to build on our successes again over the next year.”
