Tilbury Douglas is awarded Gold membership by The 5% Club

Tilbury Douglas, a leading UK building, infrastructure, engineering and fit-out business, has been awarded Gold accredited membership via The 5% Club’s 2023-24 Employer Audit Scheme.

The Employer Audit is a unique scheme which validates the employers’ activities, explores their future plans and commitments, as well as examining their approaches to quality, social mobility, diversity and inclusion.

Craig Tatton, Chief Operating Officer at Tilbury Douglas, said: “This award recognises our significant contribution to the continued development of our apprentices, graduates and sponsored students through “earn & learn” schemes. Meanwhile, we remain committed to the ongoing career development of all our colleagues to enable everyone to develop to their full potential.”

Mark Cameron OBE, Chief Executive at The 5% Club, added: “Our Employer Audit scheme recognises the efforts of all those employers who invest in their workforce through a broad range of workplace learning schemes. It is fantastic that in these challenging times so many are able to commit to the Employer Audit and to gain the credit for their efforts, and that the majority are striving to expand their schemes over the coming years. Their efforts and achievements are to be applauded.”

The 5% Club is focused on creating momentum behind the recruitment of apprentices and graduates into the workforce, as well as utilising workplace learning schemes to maximise the potential within existing employees. This means that 5% Club members strive to achieve at least 5% of their workforce on apprenticeships, as sponsored students and/or graduates on formalised training schemes within five years of joining.
