adi Group Achieves Responsible Business of the Year Award

adi Group was delighted to attend Business In The Community’s West Midlands Gala Awards for the third successive year. This event is an inspirational evening which brings local businesses from across the West Midlands region together to celebrate business impact on the wider local community.

We were honoured to bring home the West Midlands Small Responsible Business of the Year Award. This award recognises small and medium-sized enterprises (of under 1500 employees) which have embedded responsible business practices throughout their organisation and are making a positive difference to the challenges facing the West Midlands.

Our application focused on our ‘Engineering A Better Future’ CSR programme (learn more about our programme here.) which includes our involvement in numerous BITC initiatives such as Business Class and Ready For Work as well as our ongoing work with encouraging young people into the engineering sector through our apprentice academy.

adi Group was also the proud headline sponsor of the event which saw James Sopwith (Group Sales & Marketing Director) share the adi success story and how we are making an impact through BITC’s ‘Business Class’ and ‘Ready For Work’ Programmes to make an impact within the wider West Midlands Community. He also spoke about the Group’s Pre-Apprenticeship programme development and how the Group is working to help combat the STEM skills shortage that engineering and manufacturing led organisations are currently faced with.

Alan Lusty, was also invited to join the evenings Q&A Panel on the theme of ‘Future Talent’ hosted by Stephen Howard (CEO of BITC) alongside Katy Trout (Director Greater Birmingham & Solihull LEP), Neil Rudge (Community Regneration Manager – Carrillion) and Haleema Akhtar (Student Washwood Heath Academy). Alan spoke about how the Group identifies current and future skills and how we develop our talent pipeline via our Apprentice Academy.

Congratulations again to all of the local winners, re-accreditation winners and national finalists from the West Midlands.

We are proud to be part of the BITC Family and look forward to further developing our work as a responsible business.
