Shredall, the document security people are pleased to announce that yet another driver has rolled off the production line. Shredall prides itself that in over 13 years of trading it has trained and successfully operated with seven newly qualified HGV Driver Operators at its Nottingham depot.

 

Terry Smith, the company’s Operations Manager says: “We have always taken on youngsters from the local community as labourers and whilst these employees tend to stay with us for a long time, they eventually reach a point in their lives where they want more responsibility and to carve out a career for themselves.” “Therefore it seemed only fitting that when the business has expanded and needed new drivers we looked to our own stream of willing candidates waiting in the wings.”

 

Since Scott Pickering first trained for and obtained his HGV license at the first time of asking he has been followed by Ricky Jarvis, Gary Jones, Curtis Wright, Luke Majeski, James Du’Val and just recently Danny Ross who breezed his theory test and is now the latest employee to pass his heavy goods driving test. Danny recently achieved his Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), including all modules, which authorises him to drive Shredall's HGV lorries.
 

Terry added: “Each of them work with a smile on their face and have become excellent professionals and ambassadors for Shredall. They are trained by our own staff who continually aim to raise the bar when it comes to customer service.”

 

Lucy Williams, Shredall and SDS’s Training and Compliance Director summed up the success of Shredall’s internal recruitment process by saying: “We are extremely proud of our ‘Investors in People’ achievements and we are a perfect example of how rewarding loyalty and investing in your employees can reap rewards for the company too. It’s a real win-win result that progresses the careers of our employees and keeps Shredall moving in the right direction…literally.”
