Robin Walker conservative parliamentary candidate for Worcester recently visited the Remarkable factory.
He met with management and employees at their Worcester headquarters and hailed their success at turning a derelict warehouse into a thriving recycling business, by recycling every day waste into office stationery.
As Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Worcester, Walker is keen to encourage companies local or otherwise to move in to the area to create job opportunities for local people as unemployment is currently a key problem in Worcester.
With the general election now imminent Walker is setting out to meet as many businesses as possible to hear from them what needs to be done to help the economy and support employment in the area.
He stated that “Remarkable’s move to Worcester had been a story of remarkable success. This is a business founded on the understanding that we need to reduce waste and increase recycling and it has set an example in the way that it has used the challenge of climate change to create new business opportunities. Worcester should celebrate the fact that a dynamic business of this sort has moved from London to our city and created new jobs and training opportunities right here.” Remarkable employs around thirty people in their factory.
“For Worcester to thrive as a commercial and industrial city, we need to maintain investment in people, in standards and in training. I was impressed at the focus on training and development in this business and I wish Remarkable good luck in their efforts to achieve ISO 9001 certification. I would like to thank the enthusiastic employees with whom I met, many of whom had been taken on from redundancies elsewhere, for the time they took to talk to me about their roles.”
