He said: “I particularly wanted this Award because it recognises and demonstrates the high importance the company places on the development of our greatest asset, our people.
“Steven Wakelin, training manager has done an outstanding job, in the past two years, putting together a first class training facility and a spread of training courses, designed specifically for developing both our own employees worldwide, as well as those of our customers and distributors.”
Hi-Force was then announced as winner of business of the year to rapturous applause. The firm also won the ‘winner of winners’ award to complete the hat trick.
Mr Brown added: “What a fantastic night for Hi-Force and I am delighted to accept these awards on behalf of our amazing team of employees worldwide.
