The Westgrove Group has won the Mental Wellbeing Initiative Award at the BSIA’s 2024 British Security Awards.
The award demonstrates the FM firm’s commitment to ESG and showcases its support as founding corporate patron of the Mind Over Mountains charity.
Through its partnership with Mind Over Mountains, Westgrove provides insightful mental wellbeing team talks and mental health support for all colleagues, including offsite wellness walks and retreats where employees can spend time in nature, connect with themselves and take a breather from day-to-day stresses.
In addition to the Mental Wellbeing Initiative Award, Westgrove was also named winner in the national ‘Best Team’ category for its security team in Templars Square Shopping Centre, as well as scooping five regional awards, including Outstanding Acts and Service to the Customer.
Glenn Wilson, Group Managing Director at Westgrove Group commented: “Having seen all the shortlisted finalists demonstrating the fantastic work that goes on within the security industry, we were thrilled to receive these two accolades, in particular the Mental Wellbeing award which demonstrates the value of our ongoing partnership with Mind Over Mountains. The accolade also supports the commitment and investment we continue to make with our ESG strategy and associated objectives.”
Ian Sansbury, CEO of Mind Over Mountains added: “Mind Over Mountains is really privileged to have Westgrove as our founding corporate patron. It’s a genuine partnership, Westgrove’s generous financial support enables us to grow and develop our support for people with mental health requirements – but at the same time, we’re delighted to be able to support the wellbeing of Westgrove’s amazing team. This award is a wonderful testament to our partnership, which continues to grow and flourish.”
