Intastop Ltd, a leading manufacturer of door, wall and people protection solutions, has achieved Gold accreditation from Investors in People (IIP). A prestigious endorsement placing the business among the UK’s top organisations for employee engagement, development and leadership.
The achievement comes as Intastop marks its 32nd year of continuous IIP accreditation, first gaining recognition in 1994.
Today, fewer than one in five businesses assessed by IIP attain Gold status, and even fewer within the manufacturing sector, underlining the exceptional achievement of this award.
The assessment praised Intastop’s open and transparent culture, robust communication structures, and strong leadership development. With an IIP benchmark score significantly above both the national average and the company’s previous result, the accreditation reflects the business’ clear investment in its people and its long-term strategic vision.
“This is an incredibly proud moment for the whole team at Intastop,” said Sarah Barsby, HR and Marketing Director. “Achieving Gold status is a fantastic endorsement of our culture, our values, and, most importantly, our team. It’s a testament to the hard work, engagement, and passion shown by our people every day and we know that when we invest in our people, we’re also delivering the best for our customers.”
This people-first approach not only enhances the day-to-day experience for staff but also has a direct impact on the quality of service provided to customers operating in a variety of environments such as healthcare, mental health, education and leisure sectors.
By creating an open and collaborative culture, encouraging innovation through improvement and investing in leadership development, Intastop ensures its teams are equipped to deliver high-quality, reliable solutions that meet the specific needs of clients across different sectors.
Sarah continued: “As one of only a small percentage of manufacturing companies in the UK to attain IIP Gold status, we feel we are setting a benchmark for excellence in the industry. This recognition demonstrates that putting people at the heart of what we do is not just the right thing to do, it’s a strategic decision that supports long-term performance, customer satisfaction, and sustainable business success.”
