16 Jun 2021 | BALI Member News

Ground Control, the UK’s largest landscape and maintenance contractor, is celebrating after landing an internationally recognised award for demonstrating high health and safety standards for the eleventh consecutive year – the RoSPA President's Award.

The Billericay-based company was among 2,000 other entrants hoping to win the highest accolade in what is the UK’s longest-running H&S industry awards.

Angelina Sooren, Health and Safety Director of Ground Control, said:

A huge well done to every member of the Ground Control family who has contributed to us winning the eleventh consecutive RoSPA gold award.

Together we seek to achieve an environment that is healthy, safe and injury-free – and the last 18 months have been extremely challenging for everyone in our industry. However, we have remained resilient and led robust covid initiatives to ensure we have continued operating and offering an excellent and safe service to all of our clients. Our HSQE infrastructure has been aligned closely with our growing business, and we are continually improving our systems to support our people successfully. Our vision is found on a desire to care for our environment, people and customers, and as we look towards the future, we will continually raise standards and inspire others. The hard work does not stop here. Here’s to the 12th award!

Julia Small, RoSPA's Achievements Director, said:

The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for health and safety worldwide.

RoSPA is very proud of the achievements of its entrants, and with this award we recognise the best of the best, those organisations that have gone the extra mile, raising the bar for the delivery of safety in the workplace. Employees, wherever they may be, should be able to go to work safe in the knowledge that they will return home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day. Our RoSPA Award winners are central to achieving this goal.
