UPM Tilhill has scooped a Gold Award for the quality of its service, skills and safety at the RoSPA Health & Safety Awards 2008.

The annual award is the third presented to UPM Tilhill by RoSPA and demonstrates that the UK’s largest timber harvesting and environmental works company has met and exceeded RoSPA\'s key performance requirements, attaining high levels of health and safety management.

George McRobbie, Director of Health and Safety, UPM Tilhill, said: "We are absolutely delighted to win the RoSPA Gold Award. Working in the forestry, utilities and landscaping sectors, health and safety is the cornerstone of everything we do and this award recognises the very high standards UPM Tilhill achieves in implementing effective and practical measures to ensure the health and safety of our employees, contractors, the general public and the environment."
