Rebound awarded the Sword of Honour

01-12-2006

Rebound a part of GSL has been awarded a Sword of Honour by the British Safety Council following audits of Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre near Rugby and Medway Secure Training Centre in Kent. The award means that Rebound is now counted amongst the top 40 performing companies in the world to have obtained this accolade in 2006 and comes on top of achieving the five star rating it won during its first attempt in August.

Alan Jones, GSL chief executive, commented:
“It is extremely unusual for any organisation to achieve a British Safety Council five star rating at the first attempt and Rebound has done that but also gone one step better by winning a Sword of Honour in record time. We are very proud of this achievement and it demonstrates our wholehearted commitment to excellence”.

In congratulating Rebound Mr Ballard, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, said: “Winning a Sword of Honour is a difficult but worthwhile achievement, and because we limit the number of Swords awarded to forty each year worldwide, you can count yourselves as being among a small but very distinguished band”.

In a congratulations message Right Honourable Tony Blair MP, said: “These awards recognise the crucial success that these organisations and their employees have achieved in their pursuit of excellence in the management of health, safety and environmental matters.”
