Acorn’s “what the doctor ordered for expanding medical supplies firm”
A fast-expanding medical supplies company based in South Wales has forged a successful relationship with Wales’s leading recruitment and training specialist, Acorn.
For the past 12 months Acorn has helped Williams Medical Supplies (WMS) substantially strengthen its UK sales and marketing teams by providing recruitment services.
Founded in 1986 by Chairman Robin Williams, WMS continues to flourish in the Rhymney Valley, where it has been situated since 1991 and recently opened a prestigious new headquarters building.
“Williams Medical Supplies is part of the Rhymney Valley community and I am determined that we are here to stay,” said Mr Williams.
“We are a local company employing local people, so the Rhymney community is very important to us,” added Director of Human Resources, Sue Parnell. “We are keen to continue to work in partnership to enable us to grow together.”
This is demonstrated by the fact that almost 90% of WMS’s employees come from the Rhymney Valley and in April this year, WMS was successfully recognised against the new Investors in People standard, gaining accreditation for a further 3 years.
Vince Kerr, Managing Director, said “We believe that out workforce will only give their best of they are appreciated and supported.
“It isn’t enough to have staff welfare written into your corporate standards; you have to live and breathe it on a daily basis. We strive to create a happy working atmosphere for all our staff, and to create an environment in which everyone feels included and respected.”
Nichola Sims, Acorn’s relationship manager with WMS, said “We have built up a very good understanding of the company’s requirements during the 12 months we have been working with them. WMS is a superb company to work for and we are pleased to have matched their work ethos with a number of excellent new sales, marketing, customer services and warehouse staff”.
