[POSTPONED] To highlight the ESG imperative and real-world success cases, PP Control & Automation (PP C&A) in collaboration with Schneider Electric, will be hosting manufacturing professionals at its award-winning facility in Cheslyn Hay on 17th September 2025.
One of the UK’s leading strategic manufacturing outsourcing specialists has thrown its support behind a Shropshire school vying for national honours.
As part of its ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices, PP C&A has officially established an ESG Committee and has been recognised for its Societal Impact.
Last week, PP Control & Automation welcomed 50 visitors, all representing manufacturing businesses within the Made In Group. Alongside a comprehensive facility tour hosted by Mark Johnson (Engineering Manager), they were presented with ‘best practice’ approaches in culture, training & development, and collaboration by Malcolm Condon (HR People Partner), Scott …
Malcolm Condon, HR People Partner is a firm believer that, in order for UK manufacturers to remain competitive, they will need to rethink strategies for bridging the talent gap and transforming leadership.
A major competition designed to get more young people involved in manufacturing has recognised the talented engineers of the future.
The latest issue of Inside Sustainability includes an 8-page feature on PP Control & Automation (PP C&A), with CEO Tony Hague interviewed on the virtues of ESG.
Malcolm Condon believes a collective push needs to be made to change perceptions of industry and influence at grassroots level to attract the next generation of talent.
Tony Hague was one of 10 leaders invited to form a sustainability roundtable, hosted by Midlands Business Insider Magazine.
PP C&A has just been announced as Agri-EPI Centre’s newest network member, and will be using the organisation’s networking opportunities to communicate the benefits of strategic outsourcings.
PP Control & Automation is committed to sustainability and reducing its environmental impact. It is the responsibility of the business to not only improve its own manufacturing processes, but also to help customers and partners reach their own sustainability targets.
To that end, PP C&A pledge to:
Reduce carbon footprint by implementing energy-efficient practices throughout the manufacturing process, including the use of renewable energy sources where possible.
Implement waste reduction and recycling programmes to minimise the amount of waste that is produced and maximise the amount that is recycled.
Work with suppliers to promote sustainable practices and encourage the use of environmentally friendly materials.
Provide customers with sustainable solutions and support their sustainability efforts through more sustainable manufacturing processes, automation capabilities and the benefits of strategic outsourcing.
Continuously monitor and evaluate sustainability performance to identify opportunities for improvement and adjust as necessary.
Sustainability is an essential part of a responsible business practice, and PP C&A is committed to doing its part to protect the planet and support a sustainable future.
Implementing mental health resources, health and safety training, ergonomic assessments, and flexible working arrangements, among other initiatives has received more industry attention today than it ever has. By prioritising employee wellbeing, manufacturing companies can create a positive and supportive environment.
That’s the goal of HR People Partner, Malcolm Condon, and his band of ‘Wellbeing Champions’ promoting health and productivity at PP Control & Automation.
The Champions commitment is made up of 4 promises:
Help colleagues by simply being there to offer an ear or a hand, and where necessary, signpost them to additional support services.
Act as a powerful voice for all colleagues when they have concerns or suggestions that they want raising on their behalf.
Promote monthly events, including seminars and professional workshops to bring about companywide awareness in health and wellbeing topics.
Organise fundraising events in support of company sponsored charities and charities close to the hearts of our colleagues.
To play a positive role in society, PP C&A has nurtured a culture that promotes employee volunteering, including working in collaboration with schools, colleges, and universities. The business actively supports education and the promotion of STEM subjects in the communities it operates in.
The opportunity to collaborate directly with schools is always welcomed and PP C&A offer several beneficial activities and programmes designed to encourage young people into engineering and help them develop their passion for STEM subjects. From ‘at school activities’ such as talks and workshops, or interview training to ‘on location’ apprenticeships, placements and highly commended events, the work PP C&A does within education is always well-received and completely free.
