LEEDS, UK December 2004 - Luminary Solutions is pleased to announce that it has been awarded Investor In People status.

The Investors in People Standard is a business improvement tool designed to advance an organisation's performance through its people. Developed in 1990 by a partnership of leading businesses and national organisations, the Standard helps organisations to improve performance and realise objectives through the management and development of their people.

Investors in People provides a flexible, proven framework, which any organisation can adapt for its own requirements. It mirrors the business planning cycle (plan, do, review) making it clear for organisations to follow and implement in their own planning cycle. There are currently over 37,000 recognised organisations in the UK employing over 27% of the UK workforce.

Neil Warnock, founding Director of Luminary commented "We applied for Investors In People status because we believe it recognises the maturity of our processes for delivering on our commitments to customers. I'm pleased to report that no changes whatsoever were required to our procedures and processes, illustrating our fundamental commitment to people, quality and 'right first time' delivery."

He added: "Investor in People status brings public recognition for real achievements measured against a rigorous National Standard. Being an Investor in People helps to attract the best quality job applicants, and also proves the maturity and quality of our internal and customer-facing processes."
