The President’s Award.

Countrywide Environmental, based in Prescot have received a prestigious RoSPA Award for the 10th consecutive year, demonstrating commitment to health and safety excellence. This honour is referred to as the President’s Award.

Now in its 69th year, and with almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, covering over seven million employees, the RoSPA Awards are the world’s largest health and safety awards programme, recognising those organisations and individuals who have set the highest standards in accident prevention.

“Receiving the RoSPA President’s Award marks a decade of continuous commitment to the highest standards of safety,” said Darren Sinners, Managing Director of Countrywide. “Our work often takes place in complex and sensitive environments, and this award is a testament to the professionalism, vigilance, and care our teams demonstrate every single day. Compliance isn’t just a target for us, it’s the foundation of the trust our clients place in us.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Growth Director, said: Countrywide should be proud of the hard work and commitment to keeping people safe that has resulted in a RoSPA Award, which honours those organisations who have achieved the highest standards in health and safety in the workplace.

Dee Arp, NEBOSH Chief Quality Officer and the Head Judge of the RoSPA Awards, said: ‘NEBOSH is delighted to be the headline sponsor of the RoSPA Awards. Recognising excellence in health and safety is essential to ensure we celebrate achievement, but it is also about reinforcing a culture of care, accountability and continuous improvement.
