BHE celebrated once again its official status as an Investor in People (IiP) after an external review confirmed its compliance with the national standard.

Simon Turriff, Managing Director, said: "We take great pride in having been awarded the Investors in People Standard and are committed to maximising the core strengths and potential of all individuals working for BHE."

The Investors in People Standard is about improving business results by making the most of the skills and capabilities of employees.

Gareth Murton, Company Secretary, said: "The benefits we realise as an Investor in People are lower staff turnover, increased motivation and increased productivity; these all help to give us a greater competitive advantage. As an SME in the plant hire and tool rental industry, we are proof enough that the IiP Standard is not reserved for only large organisations."

BHE Plant Limited is a plant hire and tool rental business established over 25 years ago and based in Warwickshire, with hire depots in West Midlands and Nottinghamshire.
