Redditch-based waste management company Faun Zoeller has been awarded the silver accreditation from the Investors in People scheme.

Silver status means principles, policies, and practices around supporting people are embedded in every corner of the organisation. This is the first time participating and receiving accreditation, and FZUK says it looks forward to progressing further within the scheme.

Simon Hyde, CEO of FZUK, said: “Our team is the heart of the business and are the key to every success that we achieve. I am so proud of all the team by keeping that family feeling that enables the business to stay grounded.

"It’s an honour to be awarded this for the first time, but it is also an opportunity to gain experience as it highlights areas, we should be proud of and like every area for improvement, helping to hold us accountable to our people and our values.”

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Faun Zoeller UK. Silver accreditation on We invest in people is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places FZUK in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.

"Silver is a fantastic achievement and something only 15 per cent of the organisations we assess achieve."
