Biocatalysts said that it not only sees this recognition as a testament to the company’s continuous hard work over the past 25 years to achieve such a high level, but also learn from it whilst aspiring to improve and grow the business further. The company’s vision states: “Our aim is to become and stay the world’s leading speciality enzyme company and by the quality and dedication of our people, exceed our customers’ expectations.”
“Biocatalysts is clearly an organisation that strives for continuous improvements; this review demonstrated a range of improvements through effective planning, communication, learning and development at all levels and monitoring and reviewing of plans, targets and strategies,” said the Investors in People assessor. “Achieving Gold additional accreditation represents achievement of world class best practice and shows [Biocatalysts is] a truly cutting-edge organisation operating at the highest levels of people management practice.”
Biocatalysts said that it will continue to aim high over the remainder of 2013 with plans to build a £2 million enzyme production plant with support from the Welsh Government, enabling the company to offer production techniques that are globally unique.
