Ako
Diehl
To continue to improve our performance we need to invest in our greatest
asset, ‘The Team’. Diehl Controls Ltd in North Wales was
established in April 2000, as an autonomous
arm of the German company, AKO/Diehl Controls. The business operates
as a Full Service Supplier to Merloni UK and is based within the company’s
Kinmel Park factory at Bodelwyddan.
Although managers within the business had an abundance of engineering,
quality and technical skills and experience, few had received formal
training in people management skills, or the development of appropriate
related systems and processes.
Diehl Controls UK Ltd was recognised as an Investor in People, following
its first assessment, in September 2001. This was later followed by
a Silver Award for the Health & Safety Corporate Standard, Work
Life Balance. |
