Safelincs Win SME Employer of the Year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the SME National Business Awards?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SME National Business Awards<\/a> recognises outstanding achievement by small and medium-sized enterprises across the country. The EU defines SMEs as organisations with fewer than 250 employees, and a turnover of less than \u20ac50 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employer of the year 2022<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Safelincs topped 18 other finalists to win Employer of the Year. This award came at an exciting time for Safelincs, as our continued growth leads to further expansion of the workforce. As a major employer in the local area, Safelincs are pleased to be able to offer exciting opportunities<\/a> to both Lincolnshire-based and national candidates looking to join their fantastic team.<\/p>\n\n\n
