Personnel

Much of the strength of the company is derived from our employees; it is the expertise of our craftsmen and management alike at Plunkett's that keeps us one step ahead of our competitors.

We have a policy of re-investment and resourcing in the company that ensures that all our employees are continually assessed, trained and re-trained to maintain the high standards that our customers have come to expect.

In recognition of the company's commitment to training and the resources we provide to develop and maintain the training program in practice, the company has been reawarded the prestigious Investors in People standard.

The labour force consists of time-served craftsmen, a number of whom have been with the company since its formation. All have benefited from continuous development of their skills and product knowledge through training courses run both in-house and with the involvement of outside agencies, major product manufacturers and local educational establishments.

We have a successful modern apprenticeship scheme and a growing number of the workforce have been trained and educated in the methods and standards of the company since the beginning of their careers.

Training is not restricted to our craftsmen of course, and all our management and administrative staff have their own personal development plan tailored to their own particular skills and requirements.

We have a dedicated training manager who ensures that all employees are continuously progressing both in their professional growth and personal fulfilment. All our operational employees now hold CSCS cards.

Our training programme encompasses basic craftsmanship and new product awareness as well as personal development and health and safety on site. Health and Safety awareness and the use of personal protective equipment are of paramount importance in our training programme and much emphasis is put on these elements.  This pro-active approach is reflected in our very low accident rate and our continuous high scoring on clients' safety audits.

The Investors in People Award has provided benefits for the company, its employees and, most importantly, for all our clients.
