We are very proud of our senior engineer Owen Beckwith, who recently received a safety award from Sanofi; a major European Pharmaceutical Manufacturer and a long-term client of ours. The annual award is a reflection of the seriousness placed on health and safety by Sanofi. All contractors are expected to adhere to the strictest safety standards – with the award going to contractors who demonstrate excellence above and beyond the expected level.

Every year a dinner and presentation ceremony is held by Sanofi at their facility at Haverhill, Suffolk. In the image above, Owen can be seen accepting his award from Jim Moretta, the Sanofi General Manager at Haverhill.
