Commenting on the centre’s success, Jonathan Bunting, chief operating officer at UK leading logistics specialist, Connect Group, which owns Smiths News, said:

“This award for the Stockport site demonstrates a continued commitment to health and safety standards and really shows the hard work our teams up and down the country put in to ensure a safe working environment is adhered to.

“At Connect Group, the safety and wellbeing of our co-workers, and those at all of our locations is paramount to us, and these awards recognise the changes we are putting in place to ensure that this continues.”
