MacMillan Bake Sale Fundraising Success

On Friday 29th September we held our annual MacMillan Bake Sale, which was a great success. Thank you to all of our employees brought in both home baked and shop bought cakes to create a fabulous spread to tempt everyone. We had lots of visitors from the Roy Humphrey workforce and other businesses around the site, including our own team. Thank you to everyone who donated, we are so happy that we raised £300 from our sale. Our Directors have once again agreed to match the amount raised, making the grand total £600.

Stradbroke High School Careers Day

In July we attended a Careers Day for Year 9 students at Stradbroke High School. This was our first time attending a Careers Day and we were unsure what to expect, but the staff were really helpful and we soon got into the swing. The event gave Year 9 students the chance to chat to businesses in the local area about what they do and what they can offer school leavers, such as apprenticeships. We quickly learned that attracting the students to engage with us would be better aided with interactive games and freebies, which we have taken on board for next time. However, once we got them engaged they asked lots of questions and took notes in their log books.

We look forward to attending further Careers Days in the future, at Stradbroke High School and others in the area. If your school has an opportunity for us to participate, please contact Beverley Bloomfield on 01379 424008.

ISO Certification Retained for 2023

Once again, CW Logistics Ltd is proud to report that we have retained our ISO Standards Certifications in ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) & ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems)

Each year the auditing process, carried out by McKibben Management Consultants Ltd, becomes smoother and clearly  identifies the improvements made within the business during the year. By integrating the principles of ISO into all areas of the business, it has gone from strength to strength. Every member of our team actively engages with the principles of ISO on a daily basis, which enables them to contribute to changes in the way systems run with the business at every level, helping to improve and streamline them.

We highly recommend the certification and integration of ISO standards within any business, to develop and improve management systems across all areas.

Work Experience Success

Our new Work Experience programme was put to the test last month, when we welcomed Nick, a Year 10 student from a local high school, who spent a week with us.

Nick had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a wide variety of jobs across both the office and the warehouse, supported by members of the team. We provided Nick with a Work Experience Log to complete during his week us to help him take notes about skills he learned, we also gave him a copy of our programme plan with feedback from the team on his performance.

Nick expressed that he thoroughly enjoyed his week and felt that the experience had been very positive. It was a pleasure to have him with us and he was enthusiastic and motivated throughout the week.

Well done Nick and good luck for the future.

If any schools local to CW Logistics Ltd are interested in finding out more, please contact Beverley Bloomfield on 01379 424008

Our Children in Need challenge for 2022 is underway. The challenge was suggested by some of the warehouse team at 100 press ups, sit ups, step ups or star jumps every work day in November. We also have some going for 18,000 steps. Some have even opted to do 100 of all the exercises!! 

Here are some of them in mid session.

Well done so far everyone, keep it up.

Please help us to raise money for a great charity and support our challengers by donating at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cw-logistics-ltd

We are super proud to have achieved the ISO 45001 standard in September. Our inspection went really well and we would like to thank every team member for their hard work and contribution towards achieving certification.

The three ISO standards we now hold have helped us to identify gaps and continually improve every area of the business. It isn’t just tick box exercise for us, we have integrated the systems into everything we do.
