The Gold Award will be presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, in May, during the Safety & Health Expo 2008, the UK’s premier health and safety at work exhibition. 

David Rawlins, RoSPA Awards Manager, said: “MITIE has shown a commitment to protecting the health and well-being of its employees and others. We hope other organisations will follow its lead and strive for continuous improvement in health and safety management.” 

Martyn Freeman, Managing Director of MITIE’s cleaning and environmental business, said: “We take health and safety very serious. Winning this award proves that we have what it takes to protect our people and that we have the right processes in place.” 

The RoSPA awards are not just about reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at work; they help to ensure that organisations have good health and safety management systems in place. Entering the awards scheme reinforces the message that good health and safety is good business and clearly demonstrates an organisation’s dedication to the achievement of high levels of performance in this crucial area. 

The Awards are sponsored by NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), the leading health and safety professional examining body.

MITIE Group PLC 

MITIE is a people business, made up of over 44,000 talented and driven people, all working in one of our key areas of expertise: facilities, property and engineering services. 

They bring us passion and we invest in their potential. So when we say that MITIE is a company of world-class people delivering world-class services, we really mean it. The result? 20 years of growth, annual revenues of over £1.2bn, and a reputation for being the very best at what we do. M

ITIE installs, manages and maintains, making buildings and their facilities, smarter, greener, safer and better run. We do this for some of the country’s biggest private and public sector organisations, but what’s really different about us, is that we put as much effort into getting the details right for a simple plumbing job as we do to managing an entire office complex.

MITIE is all about having the right people for every job, and the right attitude to getting it done. Simple, really, but it makes all the difference.
