This milestone came in the same week that the company won the Employer of the Year category at the Lanarkshire Business Excellence Awards.

Health and Safety manager Darren England said: “The first obligation of any employer is to make sure that anyone working within their business goes home safe at the end of each and every day.

“Devro Scotland will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that this excellent performance continues.”

Meanwhile, Devro has appointed chartered accountant Steve Good as its new chairman, replacing interim chair Paul Withers who had been in the position since April’s AGM.
