AV Dawson celebrates Good Business Week
26th February, 2024
Multimodal logistics solutions provider, AV Dawson, stand out not just for their efficient operations but also for their unwavering commitment to good business practices. This commitment was recently recognised and celebrated during our inaugural Good Business Week, where they emerged as the undeniable champion, winning our Good Business Week competition!
Employee activities
AV Dawson put the environment first by organising a local litter pick around the Port of Middlesbrough. A number of colleagues from across the Teesside business participated in the litter pick, which began on its site at Riverside Park in Middlesbrough and stretched down to the public park at Teessaurus Park.
Charlie Nettle, Group Managing Director, said:
“We wanted to do something specific this week to show our support for Good Business Week. This illustrates our support of the community and the environment, while also being a great opportunity for some teamwork, bringing different colleagues together from across the business.”
Internal
Throughout the week, AV Dawson also took their Good Business Week internally, focusing on their colleagues’ awareness of the week and the Good Business Charter as a whole. From posters placed around the site to engaging e-posters displayed on screens, every avenue was utilised to spread awareness about the significance of being a part of the Good Business Charter. This inclusive approach ensured that every employee and visitor to the port was immersed in the spirit of responsible business conduct.
Social media
The company leveraged various platforms, including social media channels to share insights about the benefits of being a responsible business.
Case studies and press releases
To round off the week of celebration, AV Dawson released a video on ‘Why the Good Business Charter is a benefit to our business’, resonating with both employees and external stakeholders, as well as releasing a press release on their Good Business Week activities.
Looking ahead
As we reflect on AV Dawson’s triumphs during Good Business Week, it serves as an inspiring example for other businesses aiming to make a positive impact. The comprehensive approach to communication, employee engagement and environmental consciousness exemplifies the transformative potential of integrating responsible business practices into core operations.
Charlie Nettle, Group Managing Director at AV Dawson said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have been recognised for the work we’ve done to promote Good Business Week. We’ve only recently secured our accreditation but we’re absolutely supportive of what the Good Business Charter is about, and are keen to do our bit to raise its profile.”
Congratulations to AV Dawson on winning our Good Business Week competition!
