Celebrations at accolade for leading employer
A leading employer in Peterborough is celebrating after being named as the best place to work in the UK and the rest of Europe.
Whirlpool UK Appliances, based in Morley Way, Woodston, where it employs about 1,000 people, has won the prestigious accolade from the Top Employers Institute. The manufacturer of major home appliances from washing machines to dishwashers, has been named Top Employ- er UK and Top Employer Europe for 2019 for the second year running.
Camila Perina, HR director UK & Ireland, said: “We are delighted to have received the prestigious Top Employers recognition for a second consecutive year.
“Developing careers and nurturing our colleagues is so important to us.
“To be recognised for our dedication towards this is an amazing achievement.”
She added: “We will continue to provide the best offering and work environment to our employees as part of Whirlpool Corporation.”
The title was awarded after the Top Employers Institute based in the UK, France, Italy, Poland, Russia and South Africa had certified the finding.
Among the manufacturer’s outstanding features were its fast track management programme plus an international career path created to train future leaders.
This offers employees the chance to experience 30-month rotations at Whirlpool’s worldwide locations.
Whirlpool arrived in Peterborough in 2014 after buying the Indesit business, which was formerly Hotpoint. It is the parent company to KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Hotpoint and Indesit,
