A WINSFORD company has won a prestigious national Outstanding Investors in People award.

Adhesives company Henkel emerged as the winner in their category and were presented with the award at a ceremony in London.

Operations Director Mark Hamlin said: "Winning this award is a wonderful recognition of the hard work and effort undertaken by all staff here at Winsford.

"Investors in People continues to be the framework we use to develop our most valuable resource.

"IIP has significantly contributed to our improvements in quality, customer service and cost."

The award was judged in four categories representing business sizes and Henkel was the winner in the 200-2,999 employees category.

Henkel, which produces consumer adhesives for both the UK and export markets, was supported through the Investors in People process by North and Mid Cheshire Training and Enterprise Council.
