Thames Valley waste firm Grundon wins RoSPA Gold Award

Thames Valley-based Grundon was recognised for its health and safety performance throughout 2025, with the award presented by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

Reg Hodson, head of SHEQ at Grundon, said: “We are delighted to receive the RoSPA Gold Award once again.

“This achievement is a testament to the commitment and professionalism of our employees, who put safety at the heart of everything they do.

“Maintaining the highest standards of health, safety and wellbeing is fundamental to our business.

“This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams across the company and our ongoing commitment to creating safe and healthy environments for our employees, customers, contractors and the wider community.”

The RoSPA Awards, now in their 70th year, have grown to become the world’s largest and most prestigious health and safety awards programme.

Originally established as a small event to recognise organisations prioritising worker safety in the UK, the programme has expanded to attract around 2,000 entries from nearly 60 countries in 2026.

Grundon’s award was presented at a ceremony held on June 30.

RoSPA Gold Award winners are recognised for achieving a ‘very high level of performance,’ according to the organisation.

Winners also demonstrate strong risk management practices and ‘well-developed occupational health and safety management systems’.
