Durham-based caravan manufacturer Elddis of Consett has won a coveted industry prize for the third year running.
The firm scooped the British Safety Council’s International Safety Award after it passed a rigorous inspection from independent judges.
Its health and safety policies and procedures were scrutinised and the company was commended for its commitment to the cause.
British Safety Council chief executive Julie Nerney explained that the organisation has been at the forefront of the safety industry for five decades.
“Through achieving an International Safety Award, Elddis is helping to make our vision of a healthy and safe working environment a reality,” she said.
The firm even gained the congratulations of prime minister Gordon Brown, who added that the gong recognises the company’s success in the pursuit of excellence.
Mr Brown is likely to have a busy few days in store this week, with the general election being held tomorrow (Thursday 6th May).
