Arc announces glowing Investors in People re-accreditation!

Having just completed the re-accreditation of our Investors in People status, we are delighted to announce excellent feedback!

Here’s what Investor in People Assessor, Julia Houghton, had to say about us:

Arc Theatre is one of the most fabulous organisations that I have had the pleasure to assess. I would urge them to apply for recognition as a Top 100 Best Companies to work for. It exceeds Level 1 of the Standard in many areas, notably learning and development opportunities, leadership and management, people feeling included and valued, people feeling that they contribute and make a difference, and induction. It might be useful to use Profile as a framework for further development.” Julia Houghton, 2nd July 2007
