Essentra was recognised as among the UKs best employers, which recognises employers in the areas of working conditions, salary, potential for development, and company image.
The Financial Times, in partnership with Statista, surveyed 20,000 employees in the UK, and asked them to rate their employers across a range of different factors in their workplace.
Potentially eligible companies were researched using numerous sources — including industry associations, trade journals, and economic research institutes. Following this initial stage, employees (full-time and part-time) working at eligible companies were asked to complete a short anonymous survey about their employer, from which each company was provided a ranking.
Scott Fawcett, chief executive officer at Essentra, said: “This is a fantastic achievement since it is our people that make a difference, enabling us to provide a friendly and hassle-free service to our customers, both in the UK and across our global operations. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive and engaging work environment that champions equality and celebrates diversity.”
Emma Reid, company secretary, added: “One of the pillars of our ESG strategy is our culture, so being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Employers reflects the progress that we’re making on our journey to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. This approach also ensures we attract, recruit, train and retain diverse talent across our business.”
Last September, Essentra released details of products promised in Q2 following its acquisition of BMP TAPPI, having completed trials of more sustainable alternatives to single use plastics.
The new releases include an extension to its ILU range of polyethylene ribbed pipe-end plugs, used to protect pipes during transit against the ingress of dust, water and other contaminants, as well as during sandblasting, painting, and other surface treatments.
The company has also extended its range of tube inserts to accommodate square, round or rectangular openings to give a more aesthetic finish to metal fabricated tubes.
