Revive!, the UK’s leading SMART vehicle paint repair network, has been awarded Investors in People Gold Accreditation following the company’s recent IIP re- assessment.

Only 16%* of all companies holding IIP status achieve the coveted Gold status which puts Revive! in the top tier nationwide.

Revive! was accredited as an Investor in People in 2015. Under the IIP framework companies must be re-assessed in following years to ensure policies and procedures are still in place.

In his report the assessor from Investors in People, Central England, Bob Morrison said: “As a result of the assessment, we are delighted to award Investors in People Gold accreditation to Revive UK Ltd. This is a remarkable achievement that reflects the commitment to continuous improvement since the first accreditation.

“The assessment revealed an organisation that has continued at pace to evolve and develop a cohesive set of policies and procedures for managing and developing people including greater devolution of leadership, improved levels of engagement and embedding a clear set of values based upon the existing high-performance ethos.”

Established in 2004 Revive! has placed great emphasis on recruiting and developing the best people for its business. Customers include car dealerships, fleet management companies, insurers and the general public and last year the company was named BFA/HSBC Franchisor of the Year in the support category.

Commenting on the award, joint managing director Terry Mullen said: “We are delighted to be assessed as Gold standard. Our continuing business success is entirely due to the brilliant team we have here. For us, achieving Gold status reflects our ongoing commitment to nurturing a culture and working environment which brings out the best in each individual. Our Revive! core values and goals are shared by head office staff and our franchisees across the UK and our training and development programme has been designed to give them the tools they need to support and grow our business.”

Revive! UK has 60 franchisees, with 181 technicians on the road, all supported by a 50-people strong Rugby based head office team.
