Voith Group
Voith Group is a global conglomerate that sets standards
in the paper, energy, mobility and industrial services
sectors.
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.”
