»»Lister is a company
who throughout its trading
history, has lived by one golden
rule, “look after your staff and
your staff look after you.”
And this ethos helped Lister
to scoop what they believe to
be a very special award from
the Staffordshire Chamber
of Commerce, the coveted
“Employer of the Year”.
Recognised by a panel of
judges, Lister demonstrated
its commitment to its staff by
providing exemplary working
conditions, a programme
of continued training and
support and an excellent HR
programme.
“It was a very impressive group
of companies that we were up
against,” commented Derrith
Turner, Listers’ HR Director,

“and that made the recognition
even more special for us. We have
won many industry awards over
the years and each one has been
of h uge importance to us. But I
have to say, to compete against
other outstanding local businesses
and come out as winners, is a real
coup for Lister.”
The evening was a huge
success and the inaugural
Staffordshire Chambers Awards
surely cemented itself in the
awards calendar. Lister would
like to thank the team at the
Staffordshire Chambers for
organising a fantastic event and
you can rest assured, Lister Trade
Frames will be back to defend
its crown and maybe even scoop
another award in the process.
