People management award

The company has been successful in achieving this coveted standard, recognising best practice in people management. 

IIP is a standard used by thousands of organisations across the world, and the Gold award is only given to those businesses that are able to meet an additional 126 requirements on top of the 39 core IIP objectives. 

Cannon Hygiene employees were interviewed by IIP across a number of service centres and head office as part of a rigorous and objective process.

Howard Sedgwick, MD of Cannon Hygiene UK who joined in January 2012, said: "After initially being awarded the standard IIP accreditation in 2001, securing the Gold award acknowledges our commitment to continually invested in our people. This is definitely their achievement and they have been fundamental to developing a distinctive approach to working with our customers. This approach is liked by our customers and it makes Cannon Hygiene a great place for people to work."

Cannon Hygiene provides hygiene solutions to many household names and thousands of SMEs across the length and breadth of the UK as well as having a strong reputation in the public sector.
