Red Funnel Bags Top Global Safety Award After 17 Gold Streak
Red Funnel, the popular cross-Solent ferry operator, has scooped a prestigious international health and safety prize. The firm has been named a winner at the world-renowned RoSPA 2018 Health and Safety Awards—the UK’s longest-running industry safety competition.
Seventeen Years of Gold Brilliance
Red Funnel didn’t just win – it earned the elite Order of Distinction, a rare honour reserved for companies with 17 straight Gold awards. The accolade will be formally handed over at a swanky ceremony at London’s ExCeL Centre on June 19, 2018.
Global Praise for Safety Excellence
RoSPA’s awards attract entries worldwide. They spotlight organisations that lead in health and safety systems, including strong leadership and active staff involvement. Kevin George, Red Funnel’s Chairman and CEO, said:
“We are delighted to receive this prestigious global award from RoSPA. The safety of our customers and staff is at the very heart of this business and we are enormously proud of our health and safety record.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, added:
“The RoSPA Awards are the most highly-respected in the health and safety arena, with almost 2,000 entrants every year, and allow organisations to prove excellence in the workplace, demonstrating a commitment to the wellbeing of not only employees but all those who interact with it.”
