About WCCTV

Wireless CCTV were named Business of the Year (£5m+ Turnover) and Skills and Training Provider of the Year at the Rochdale Business Awards 2019.

Wireless CCTV was one of the big winners at the 2019 Rochdale Business Awards, and takes home two awards for Business of the Year (£5m+ turnover) and Skills, Education and Training Provider of the Year.

The Company, which is the market-leading manufacturer and supplier of redeployable CCTV, body worn cameras and electronic site security systems, has enjoyed sustained growth over the last 4 years, doubling both turnover and employee numbers between 2016 and 2019.

The awards follow on from the Company’s recent accolades in being named one of Greater Manchester's 50 Fastest Growing Companies and one of the London Stock Exchange’s 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain in 2019.

Speaking on being named the Skills, Education and Training Employer of the Year, Senior HR Business Partner, Dianne Atkins, said:

“WCCTV believes passionately in growing from within, upskilling junior employees so they can become our future managers and leaders, as well as supporting our mid and senior-level managers via company supported professional qualifications. Currently, over 10% of our global workforce are apprentices, learning new skills in a practical environment while making vital contributions to the Business.”

“We’re particularly proud of our track record in providing career opportunities to young people across the Borough. We’ve worked hand-in-hand with local schools, colleges and universities for several years to provide industrial placements and traineeships. That over 50% of our placement students take up full-time positions with the Company following graduation, with over 30% of these moving into management positions, is something we are extremely proud of.”
