Norbord, the leading UK manufacturer of engineered wood-based panel products, heralded the new year with a conference in Swindon which focused on Norbord’s core values – Trust, Excellence and Customers.

Karl Morris, Managing Director Europe, hosted the conference, which was attended by over 50 staff including managers and leaders across all business functions. He opened with a motivational speech before leading the way into a review of 2005 and key areas of expertise including safety, cost management, capability assurance and supply chain management. The agenda also covered organisational effectiveness, customer relations, employee excellence and best practice.

Karl Morris commented: “The conference represented an opportunity to review our 2006 objectives while also providing a forum for discussion on sharing best practice that puts customers at the heart of our business. It was an ideal opportunity to debate our values and beliefs as these are the foundations that keep Norbord customer focused, drive our goal of excellence and put a framework around how we interact with others both internally and externally.”
