GI Solutions Group based in Leicester, achieved the President's (11 consecutive golds) Award in the prestigious annual scheme run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

The company will be presented with the award during a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel on Wednesday July 12 2017. The award was achieved during a special year for family safety charity RoSPA, as it celebrates its centenary.

Through the RoSPA Awards scheme, which is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants’ overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement. The awards are now in its 61st year.

Patrick Headley, CEO of GI, said: ‘I am extremely pleased and proud that we have achieved the President's Award of 11 consecutive golds. Personal safety is at the highest level of importance to the business and it is great to know this is acknowledged by the leading industrial safety body RoSPA.’

The majority of awards are non-competitive and mark achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years. For the first time in 2017, the Patron’s Award has been presented to those organisations that have achieved consecutive gold awards for 25 years or more.

Competitive awards go to the best entries in 24 industry sectors including construction, healthcare, transport and logistics, engineering, manufacturing and education.
