H & W Chamber Awards 2014 - Titania Receives Highly Commended for Commitment to Health and Wellbeing

Titania’s team had the pleasure to attend the 2014 Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber Business Awards last week. The ceremony was held at the Bank House Hotel, in Bransford to celebrate the best of the business community of Worcestershire and Herefordshire. The company’s representatives to the event were Ian Whiting, CEO, Nicola Whiting, COO and HR Manager, Shelley Gunnell.

The awards represented an excellent opportunity for networking amid the business society of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Entertainment was provided by young musician Tina V, while radio host, Howard Bentham of BBC Hereford and Worcester, was responsible for announcing the winners.

Titania was shortlisted in three categories: Small Business of the Year, Growth Business of the Year and Commitment to Supporting Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace (for Worcestershire businesses only) sponsored by Worcestershire Works Well. The 2014 edition of the Awards saw a fierce competition among the finalists, with high quality contenders for each category. For this reason, Titania was very proud to take home the title of Highly Commended for Commitment to Supporting Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace. The company’s “ ‘Duvet Day’ scheme, whereby staff can request to take a paid day of leave at short notice, proved understandably popular with employees”, Worcester News acknowledged.

Incidentally, the morning before the Awards, Titania’s HR Manager and COO, were invited to speak at the Worcestershire Works Well breakfast meeting at the Malvern Science Park about the company’s contribution to the health and wellbeing of its employees.

Speaking to the H & W Chamber of Commerce, Shelley Gunnell said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be highly commended in the category for supporting health and wellbeing in the workplace. We’d like to thank Worcestershire Works Well for their continued support and the Titania family for working together to create our health and wellbeing culture, which is central to our success. This is a really exciting time for Titania and the Chamber’s recognition is the best way to reflect it, thank you!”

Congratulations to all the winners and highly-commended. Titania hopes you continue representing excellency in your respective fields of work and wishes you a successful year ahead: Gtech, Kinetic Six, Allvalves Online Ltd, Allteko Ltd, Thomas Vale Construction, Orchard Valley Foods Ltd, SouthcoManufacturing Ltd, Kingspan Insulation, Gemporia, QinetiQ, Apreco Limited and Pulsar ProcessMeasurement Ltd.
