A KITCHEN manufacturer has received two gold awards from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

Dewsbury-based Rixonway Kitchens, one of the leading manufacturers working in affordable and social housing, was recognised for the fourth year running – with its award for workplace safety and an award for managing occupational road risk.

The awards were presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

David Rawlins, RoSPA awards manager, said: “RoSPA firmly believes that organisations which demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill-health prevention deserve recognition.

“Rixonway Kitchens has shown that it is dedicated to striving for ever higher thresholds and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”

Nick Greenall, operations director at Rixonway Kitchens, said: “We are delighted to have won a RoSPA Award for the fourth year running.

“Health and safety is top of our agenda at Rixonway Kitchens and we’re happy that our efforts continue to be recognised.

“We constantly monitor and update our rigorous processes to ensure our standards remain some of the highest in the industry.”

The majority of awards that RoSPA presents are non-competitive, marking achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels.
