MP Visits Fillongley Spring Water

摘要

Fillongley Spring Water Ltd, on track to producing 2.5 million bottles of water in 2013, recently welcomed local MP Dan Byles , to its Warwickshire, UK, site. Byles, whose constituency has been hard hit by a recent business closure resulting in the loss of 700 jobs, expressed delight at hearing that Fillongley has created a fast growing business from a standing start just 18 months ago. The firm not only employs 20 people but also spends £ 1 million a year with local suppliers as part of its policy to actively support other local businesses. In December 2012 Fillongley achieved the much accredited ISO 9001 status. It also has an apprentice scheme, currently employing an apprentice engineer with the aid of the Apprenticeship Grant for Employers of 16 to 24 year-olds. This aims to support businesses to grow by providing incentives to assist in offering young people employment.
