GAP Hire Solutions Awarded RoSPA Gold Medal For Ninth Consecutive Year



GAP Hire Solutions, the UK’s largest independent hire company, has again been awarded the prestigious Gold Medal by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). This achievement recognises nine consecutive years of Gold-standard health and safety performance.

GAP is proud to receive this year’s award in the 70th anniversary year of the RoSPA Health and Safety awards, a milestone marking seven decades of progress, leadership and life-saving work. Internationally renowned as the symbol of excellence in workplace safety, RoSPA Awards recognise organisations, teams and projects for their unwavering commitment to setting the benchmark for safety across their sector.

Sustaining Gold-level recognition for nine years running reflects a safety culture built into every part of GAP’s operations, from depots to major project sites nationwide. The award demonstrates GAP’s long-standing record of excellence, built on its dedication to high safety standards and the wellbeing of employees, customers and communities, values that have underpinned the business since 1969.

Allister Maxwell, Head of Safety & Risk at GAP, commented:

“Safety is core to GAP’s culture. Nine consecutive RoSPA Golds is a testament to every colleague across the business for making safety their responsibility every single day. To be recognised in RoSPA’s 70th anniversary year makes this award mean even more special.”
