For the second consecutive year, Sunbelt Rentals UK has been awarded a bronze accreditation from the 5% Club’s 2023-2024 Employer Audit Scheme, highlighting its commitment to its people and sustainability.
The scheme assesses employers’ activities, evaluates their future plans and commitments, and examines approaches to quality, social mobility, diversity, and inclusion.
By joining the 5% Club, it demonstrates its ongoing commitment to its sustainability strategy and investment in people through workplace training.
One of the key initiatives is a commitment to training via its industry-recognised apprenticeship programme. This programme – which has been in operation for over 10 years – plays a critical role in the company’s investment in the next generation and highlights career opportunities available in the industry. Over the last two years, it has provided apprenticeships to 200 staff, with further developments planned for its upcoming programme to broaden the opportunities.
Jenny Parry, head of talent, at Sunbelt Rentals commented: “We’re delighted to celebrate our bronze membership with the 5% club for the second year running. Initiatives such as our apprenticeship programme and mentoring schemes are just two ways that we invest in our people, and this aligns with our business goal to own the future of rental and purpose to transform lives.”
