Scott Bader UK wins Employer of the Year award for Northamptonshire

Scott Bader UK was shortlisted for the sought after award alongside many prestigious Northamptonshire-based businesses. To be announced as the Employers of the Year for Northamptonshire is a fantastic achievement and something we are really proud to be awarded in our Centenary year.

We were recognised for our unique Commonwealth ownership structure that empowers our colleagues to play a key role in the future of the company, our employee benefits, our newly launched Women in Leadership programme, our work around Diversity & Inclusion at Scott Bader and within our leadership teams, and the training and development available for all of our colleagues.

Kevin Matthews, Scott Bader’s CEO, accepted our award at the virtual awards ceremony hosted by All Things Business. Keep an eye on our social media pages next week as we will be sharing Kevin’s acceptance speech!

The Mud House Children’s Foundation

Mum and daughter duo, Silvia and Nikki, celebrated with us on Monday. Following the news of their Centenary funding, the charity are working on plans to install a new borehole and water well for the Maasai community in Northern Tanzania. The new water collection systems will save lives and dramatically improve living conditions for the community.

But there is more to this story. Silvia and Nikki actually heard about the Scott Bader Commonwealth having met Sean and Gail on holiday. Sean and Gail, who both work in Scott Bader’s Commercial team, raised the idea of applying to the Centenary fund having heard about the brilliant work the charity do. Nikki duly organised the application (whilst on holiday!) and the rest is history.

Silvia has recently been awarded an MBE from King Charles for services to education in Africa, which further highlights the amazing impact Silvia, Nikki and the Mud House Children’s Foundation has had on the Maasai community.

2021 is a special year for Scott Bader as we celebrate 100 years of the company and 70 years of the Scott Bader Commonwealth. Click here for more information on our Centenary celebrations.

We are delighted to be named Employer of the Year for Northamptonshire in 2020. Well done to all of our Scott Bader UK colleagues for their hard work and dedication throughout a challenging year.
