“We are on target to deliver sales of more than £3.8 m in 2018 thanks to new business growth in Coventry and the West Midlands and with the opening of a new regional office in the North West, which has secured 1.0m of new sales to date” Managing Director Karl de Groot commented whilst also being committed to creating a long term sustainable business with a first-class health & safety culture. 20 per cent of our workforce is Black Hat qualified (the highest level of safety qualification on a building site), and every employee receives regular safety training.
Our safety led business strategy is a key differentiator for Godiva and ultimately, we want Godiva to become the supplier and employer of choice in our chosen markets and follow a controlled approach to growth that ensures service delivery and safety remains a top priority.
By also instilling effective management controls, we have been able to replicate our culture and ethos in a scalable manner across each business team and our focus on safety and quality will ensure we deliver on our £6 m sales target by 2020.
Our third party auditing approach demonstrates our systems and work procedures are of the highest industry standard. We are an Audited UKAS Scaffolding Association Member, a Gold Construction Line contractor; a Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) audited contractor; accredited to the Construction Health & Safety Scheme (CHAS); and is an accredited SSIP Safe Contractor & SMAS.
I am immensely proud of our recent achievements, not just the Coventry Telegraph Business Awards success but our general progression forwards towards becoming a recognised and trusted brand, who contributes also to the local economy and employment, through active engagement.
