Our big blue chip clients have vision and see the support and loyalty we give them and come back to us time and time again. Furthermore, Belfast is now a thriving industrial city. Some of the challenges of working in this industry include being away from families and loved ones. We also we pride ourselves on our company motto: ‘Safety Education is Wealth’. I saw this in Abu Dhabi about 6 years ago when the His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi put up a poster for the schools saying education is wealth and thought it was such a though provoking comment. As a result, we added and implemented the ‘Safety Education is Wealth’ slogan and intend on carrying this forward We feel this award was awarded to the team, as without the professionalism of the team saving lives and the hard work they put in, we would not have won the award.
