G14 FINALIST - SHAPING THE FUTURE
»»Quickslide was shortlisted as
a finalist in the G14 awards for best Training
and Development Initiative, with a submission
that was personally signed by every member of
the workforce.

The Yorkshire-based fabricator, that has
always regarded its people, as part of its
commitment to World Class Manufacturing
and Continuous Improvement, won the
placement after reporting how the company
reviewed and revised all of
its planning, training and
development procedures, and is
now looking to gain six-figure
savings as a result.
Chairman, Adrian
Barraclough, explained: “It is
only natural that every member
of the team should sign as a part
of the submission because every

one of them played their part in the review
and in the continuing success it has brought
us.”
The submission spells out how Quickslide
first identified its shortcomings and their
causes, then how to overcome each one
individually.
Adrian added: “The result was that every
member of the workforce became accountable
problem solvers, understanding that this is
their business and they will shape its future
and benefit from its success.”
