ARCADION welcomes back Rhiann Ritchie from Aboyne Academy this week. Rhiann is resuming her work experience with us following a short study break and is interested in persuing a career in Business Management, Marketing and Public Relations.

Having worked on promotional projects with ARCADION in the past, our long standing Partnership Charter with the school means we are introducing Rhiann to real life business experiences and giving her an insight into the challenges of a commercial environment.

ARCADION are working towards our migration to ISO9001: 2015 to further enhance our ability to satisfy our customers and provide a coherent foundation for growth and sustained success.

The new standard is less prescriptive than its predecessor, focusing instead on performance by combining the process approach with risk-based thinking.  

Building on our successful, existing Quality Management System and focusing on mitigating risk whilst ensuring the quality of service we provide, we are confident our migration to the new standard will be a success and we look forward to sharing this with you later this year.

Always keen to support our long standing Partnership with Aboyne Academy, ARCADION have sponsored new school football strips for both the boys and girls teams.  The kits, which carry both the ARCADION logo and the schools badge are seen here being modelled by some of the pupils accompanied by Lisa Cormack, ARCADION Business Co-ordinator and Scott Birse, Aboyne Academy PE Teacher.

Recognising the hard work of the pupils of Aboyne Academy is just one of the annual highlights of ARCADION’s Partnership Charter with the school.  The school’s End of Year Awards Ceremony is a hugely anticipated event for the pupils, teachers and guests with over 130 awards being presented for curriculum subjects, sports and special achievements.  Four of the awards are sponsored by ARCADION and were given this year to the following deserving pupils –

  Business Management – Lance Zhou

  Design and Technology – Adam Smith

  Outstanding Individual Achievement – Shannon McWilliam

  Outstanding Individual Achievement – Craig Giblin
