The Company's commitment to the principle of equal opportunity in employment has been a long standing feature of its personnel practices and procedures.

The Company appreciates that, while much can be achieved by the development of legal measures, real progress can only be made by practical day to day commitment to promote equal opportunity at all levels, but most particularly in the workplace.

The contribution made by minority groups to our business performance is already substantial and increasing.  It is clearly in the best interests of the Company, its management, and all employees that these talents and resources are used to the full.  This can most effectively be achieved by taking action to foster a fully integrated community at work through the practical application of an Equal Opportunities Policy.  This is a social responsibility that the Company accepts in a positive sense.

Our policy is based upon the Company's active opposition to any form of less favourable treatment accorded to employees or job applicants on the ground of race, creed, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, marital status, disability, age, sexual orientation or religion or belief.

The Company will ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant aptitudes, skills and abilities.  All employees will be encouraged to take advantage of facilities to better themselves at work.

It is the duty of all employees to accept their personal responsibility for the practical application of the Policy through their equal treatment of colleagues.  The Company acknowledges, however, that specific employment responsibilities fall upon management and supervision and that it must ensure they conduct themselves in a non-discriminatory manner in their relationship with actual and potential employees.
