Frances Lundy, Partner at Riada Resources said: “This is a great tribute to the application and dedication of our staff.

“Our company is based around people. We work with other businesses to find people that suit their needs; we do it efficiently and with commonsense decency. It is great to have our approach recognized and endorsed by the Investors in People Silver Award.”

Frances and her management team were recognised for the role they play in developing new members of staff and for their hands on approach to leadership. Riada were also commended for the opportunities they offer their staff for career development and the scope for expanding individual team member’s roles.

The review noted management’s openness to suggestions and input from their staff. Frances added: “At the end of the day we are in the people business and that means treating people well and helping them do their job here in Riada or in our client businesses.”
