In the latest round of surveys Carrington West is ranked 7th of all UK companies currently working to IIP frameworks.

James Fernandes, Carrington West MD, commenting on the achievement, “We are immensely proud to be awarded platinum by IIP. We started working with IIP only four years after we started the business with the very clear vision to make sure that our people are at the forefront of our business vision. Our journey and our commercial success, especially over the last eighteen months, are as a result of our people and our collective commitment to continual learning.”

This incredible milestone is a true testament to the people first approach we take at Carrington West and we look forward to our ongoing work with the IIP to continually improve and develop our people policies and practices and embed them in everything we do”
