Scottish cashmere and wool company Johnstons of Elgin has been
recognised for its commitment to employing and training young people.
Johnstons of Elgin was awarded with the Investors in Young People
(IIYP) accreditation, the only people management standard scheme that
focuses on employers’ recruitment and retention of young people.
Launched in July 2014, the IIYP scheme originated through a key
recommendation from the Commission for Developing Scotland’s Young
Workforce, led by Sir Ian Wood, and is supported by 1 million pounds of
funding from the Scottish Government.
The cashmere specialists received the award at a ceremony attended by
Moray MP Angus Robertson for its focus on creating employment and training
opportunities, which has included employing and training more than 80 young
apprentices in recent years.

Speaking at the presentation, Robertson, said: “Achieving Investors in
Young People accreditation for Johnstons really means marrying the
traditional with the modern – the traditional weaving skills that are to be
found in their iconic woollen mill, delivered through modern
apprenticeships by enthusiastic young people building their career.”
Willie Wood, group HR director at Johnstons of Elgin, added: “Achieving
this award demonstrates our unwavering commitment to young people and is a
culmination of our proactive and strategic approach to increasing the
number of young people in our workforce, providing them with high quality
apprenticeship and sustainable employment.
“Youth employment is a key pillar of our business plan and I am
delighted that our work in this area has been recognised in this way.”
