‘Quality remains long after the price is forgotten’
Thursday October 1st 2009
As part of a corporate strategy review and following a recent business study, Whiteghyll are to introduce the Quality Management System.
The QMS achieved will satisfy the standards and criteria laid down in ISO 9001. Senior management recognise that the proposed system will provide the framework needed to monitor and improve performance in many areas.
The new procedures will improve the way that Whiteghyll operates, helping us to improve market share, drive down costs, maintain effective risk management and provide all of our customers with a high level of satisfaction.
Through alterations to our daily operational routines or the challenge of working with new clients, it is hoped that this investment will benefit the whole organisation as well as each individual within the company.
Whiteghyll Sponsor ‘TEAM ROBBO’
Saturday September 12th 2009
Whiteghyll attracts attention at Wembley stadium, Carnegie Challenge Cup Final 2009
At the beginning of August, Whiteghyll were approached for sponsorship by the all female fan club ‘TEAM ROBBO’ who support Huddersfield Giants’ scrum half Luke Robinson in all of his rubgy league appearances.
Whiteghyll could not refuse the opportunity to help out the girls especially since their presence at many rubgy league stadiums has been causing a stir. So much so that when opening most local newspapers and national broadsheets prior to the Carnegie Challenge Cup Final at Wembley between the Huddersfield Giants and Warrington Wolves, TEAM ROBBO could be read about daily.
TEAM ROBBO are an exceptional group of ladies who always have a smile on their beautiful faces and are true ambassadors for all supporters of rugby league and it is our pleasure to be gaining fantastic exposure through their enjoyment of the game and support of Luke Robinson.
Catch them waving their TEAM ROBBO banners and wearing their new t-shirts provided by Whiteghyll, at a rugby league stadium near you! (Or your local public house.)
Whiteghyll at Thirsk Races
Saturday August 1st 2009
This year 109 merry souls set off for Herriot country and the journey North up the A1 on Saturday August 1st for Thirsk races. Our girls and boys really did scrub up well and were dressed for the occasion. The bash was an open invitation to all members of staff along with a guest of their choice to have a day out on the company. With the skies threatening there was of course the awful dilemma faced by the ladies on what to wear as downpours were forecast for later in the day. Within the race course grounds we were situated in a lovely spacious room called the Manton Suite, overlooking the parade ring.
A party atmosphere followed the dignified start to the day once our workforce and guests found their feet, which ultimately led them towards the free bar and the fantastic buffet to help soak up some of the alcohol. Although nobody went home “shirtless,” the bookies clearly raked in the well earned cash of our troops.
At the end of the last race the bar was closed for 10 minutes whilst a presentation of the raffle prizes were presented to the lucky winners of the various competitions held throughout the afternoon. Following the prize presentations, John Owen delivered a big thank you to the staff members and their partners for the dedication and the fantastic effort that they have all provided to the company during the difficult times experienced this year. He stated that all should feel very proud of the manufacturing achievements to date and that the Whiteghyll staff are a credit to the organisation.
The day ended with everyone getting slightly worse for wear as the dreaded drink took its toll. The people on Bus one quickly returned to the bar in Bradford, thankful to the Flying Express having a toilet on board. Unfortunately the other two buses proceeded to take the scenic route home with many stops along the way. It is fair to say that a great day was had by all.
Whiteghyll is going green… but not with envy!
Wednesday July 15th 2009
Following several years of waste segregation and recycling, using in-house procedures, the Directors have decided to take a more formal and documented approach to the way that we handle waste management and the effect that this has on the environment. Continuous improvement in environmental management is an essential element within our overall business plan. We believe that increased productivity and quality standards can be achieved through minimising waste, pollution and the correct consumption of resources.
The company is implementing an Environmental Policy to drive forward improvements in the environmental performance of the business and it is intended that all company employees are made aware of this decision and encouraged to fully support this initiative.
The documented system is designed to meet the requirements of BS EN ISO 14001:2004 and it is anticipated the company will achieve certificated compliance by December 2009.
