Clayware company Naylor Industries has been awarded silver status in its investors in People certification.

The Cawthorne-based business, which draws many of its employees from Kirklees, is a leading manufacturer of building and construction products, specialist clay pipes, plastic drainage and ducting and concrete products.

Naylor, which has more than 100 years of expertise and craftsmanship, said it was committed to investing in the continuous development of its staff, technologies and in skills for the future. The company said it provided excellent career progression opportunities, flexibility and continual training options.

Bridie Warner-Adsetts, chief operations officer, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded Silver status in our recent Investors in People certification and that our ongoing investment in our people has been recognised.”

She said the upgrade to Silver Investors in People status reflected the efforts made in employee involvement, training and communications – such as the Naylor Employee Forum – as well as its commitment to employ 2.5% of its workforce in apprenticeship positions by April, 2014.
