Sometimes, qualifying for accreditations, such as OHSAS 18001, can deliver tangible benefits – as Workshop Technician Trudi Beet testifies in the latest of our articles about Coinadrink’s ‘Long Service Club’ members.
In a recent blog post, Coinadrink MD Roger Williams considered accreditations and their value to the business. ‘Take ISO for example’, Roger wrote. ‘Some companies take the view that accreditations are an unnecessary distraction, mere ‘boxes that must be ticked’.’
Roger believes that external audits reassure our customers that we’re taking our responsibilities as a supplier and as an employer seriously. ‘We can point people towards our various accreditations and say to them, ‘don’t take our word for it…’, Roger says. Read more
As many of our customers are aware, Coinadrink supports a charity called ‘Just Small Change.’ We have a simple formula: every time somebody buys a bottle of water from one of our bottled water coolers, we donate a percentage. So far we’ve raised £750.
It’s not much, is it? In fact, it’s just small change…
However, as anyone who’s ever collected coins in a jar will know, over time, that ‘small change’ can turn into a substantial sum of money and with that in mind, we thought you might be interested to find out how that money is being used. Read more
Remember the story we shared back in November, about our annual ‘Long Service’ dinner? (Click here to read it). We were making the point that the number of Coinadrink staff, who are entitled to attend the ‘do’, (because they’ve been with us for at least twenty-five years), now stands at fourteen. Add to that partners and, of course, Roger and Yvonne and it’s quite a get-together; which is, we’re sure you’ll agree, a pretty amazing fact in this day and age.
So here’s another pretty amazing fact for you: it’s about Stuart Westwood, our popular Service Manager. When he joined our long-service legends in 2013, he was the youngest of the lot. In fact, it’s not possible to be any younger and be a club member…Stuart Westwood Allow us to explain: Stuart was born on the 27th of August, 1972. He joined us straight from Willenhall Comprehensive, starting on 26th of July, 1988, aged 15 years, 11 months. So, add 25 to that, and you have it. Achieving 25 years of service at Coinadrink, aged 40 years and 11 months, is a record that’s never going to be broken. You see, since Stuart’s day, the school-leaving age has been raised…

Featuring during the month dedicated to Cancer Awareness, ‘wear it pink’ is a fantastic day that helps gain lots of money in the hope that one day, we will beat Cancer! Set up in 2002, it has raised a whopping £13.2 million pounds by encouraging everyone to donate £2 for spending the day wearing pink! In the hope that it will raise awareness for the need to improve diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure, it is not uncommon for schools, businesses and universities to take part in the scheme which helped raise a record £2.2 million in the year 2011. The mission now is to try and beat that in 2014…
Coinadrink staff will enjoy wearing pink today to help support this great cause!
