ARV Solutions Gain Investors In People Platinum Accreditation

Platinum is the highest level of the standard possible to achieve on the We Invest in People accreditation. ARV Solutions first achieved IIP Gold accreditation in 2016 at the first assessment and has maintained this since. They have also been finalists for Gold Employer of the Year in 2020, the best pivot during COVID-19 in 2021 and the best Reward and Recognition in 2022. Their Managing Director was awarded Manager of the Year by Investors In People in 2017.

Investors In People means policies and practices around supporting people are embedded in every corner of ARV Solutions. Key measures cover leadership and support, structuring work for high performance, and really delivering on continuous improvement. In a platinum company, everyone –from the Managing Director to a trainee – knows they have a part to play in the company doing well and is always looking for ways to improve.

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate ARV Solutions. Platinum accreditation on We Invest in People is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places ARV Solutions in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”

Their expert team is supported with the most advanced and innovative technology, which they have further developed to create high levels of success for both their clients and candidates across the UK and worldwide.

Commenting on the award, Jim Roach, Managing Director added: “This is a massive achievement for our business – Investors In People is ‘THE’ benchmarking standard for a people-oriented business such as ours so we are over the moon to have achieved their highest accreditation. I should say detailed and accurate design, plans and material pricing of developments from the first day. From start to finish, the process can be completed in under an hour, saving weeks of work. we worked hard to achieve it – but more importantly for me, we worked hard to build a great business. It also happens to meet the highest standards for this accreditation. We are mid-way through our ambitious three-year growth and development plan and our journey is as exciting now as it’s ever been in our 20-year history. We’re looking forward to continuing to grow with many more clients in offsite, as well as related and new sectors.”
