Timber window manufacturer Jeld-Wen has been awarded International Safety Awards at four of its manufacturing sites from the British Safety Council (BSC).

The BSC awarded JELD-WEN’s sites in Melton Mowbray (frames and stairs), Sheffield and Lowestoft the accreditation, which recognises companies with below average accident rates and robust health & safety policies. Employees from all four sites joined top names in the health and safety industry to receive the award at a special ceremony held at London’s prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel.
