The award was made following a detailed on-site assessment by the Investors in People (IIP) audit team to evaluate the company’s performance and approach to its people.

The audit team confirmed that Allies has “a strong and clear business ethos, valued by everyone, that guides the way the company operates in supporting both its customers and its people.”

The final IIP report stated that staff “have a passion for what they do, the products that they develop and support, and for the customers that they serve. They feel supported and are fully engaged in their roles.”

Dan Cooper, CEO of Allies said: “We are delighted to have been recognised for our commitment to our people, whom we regard as being pivotal to our business operation. The award is a superb achievement and recognises the hard work put in by all teams within the organisation.”
