Mark Wildman, Business & Commercial Manager from the Leadership Team for Sandwell Leisure Trust, says: This is truly fantastic news and testament to the team’s consistent efforts over the past year. Maintaining the highest standards of health and safety continues to be an absolute priority for SLT. This achievement again underlines the expertise and hard work of all our teams to provide a safe environment for staff, customers and visitors across all the sport, leisure and swimming facilities managed by SLT in partnership with Sandwell Council.”

 

Penny Hackett, Vice Chair of The Trust’s Board, adds: “The RoSPA Award is the most highly-respected health and safety accolade globally, so we’re extremely honoured and proud. SLT was initially the first Leisure Trust to achieve the RoSPA Gold Award - and to retain the award over 17 consecutive years demonstrates the consistent high standards achieved by our  staff working at Sandwell’s facilities.”

 


The RoSPA Awards not only focus on commitment to accident and ill-health prevention, but occupational health and safety management systems, including practices like leadership and workforce involvement. It receives entries from organisations around the world and is also the longest-running industry awards scheme in the UK.
