Voith Group

Voith Group specialises in complete Facility Services and technical cleaning of industrial sites, with a particular expertise in the automotive market, although all their core competencies are transferable and they are keen to expand to other industrial sectors.

Voith's UK-based organisation operates across North and Western Europe at customer locations throughout the UK, Spain, Sweden and Slovakia.

Voith also works with Jaguar and Land Rover in the Midlands. They have developed their own Wheel and Tyre Assembly plants in Coventry and at GMM Ellesmere Port to supply customer needs direct.

Voith is committed to investing in their staff and meet training needs raised by their regular appraisal process. They have recently put approximately 100 staff at their Coventry plant through manual handling training and are systematically training all their staff in equality and diversity. So far, around 40% of the total workforce has been trained in equality and diversity with day courses for managers and 3.5hr sessions for their other staff.

Lucy Roger, HR Advisor said: “Warwickshire College provides affordable training, but best of all they bend over backwards to accommodate our needs. We employ people at different locations, on all sorts of shift patterns. They travel anywhere and they even come during the night to deliver the sessions. We wouldn’t go anywhere else for this type of training.”
