David Wernick Delivers Keynote Speech at Essex Ltd Event
David Wernick, Chairman of the Wernick Group, was guest speaker at the recent fourth annual Essex Ltd 2014 event when the results of the survey into the performance of the county’s top 100 businesses were announced. The study looked at key performance indicators such as operating profit and employment figures, and also includes an analysis of the financial data by sector. This information provided an insight into the economic performance of Essex, and an indication of the country as a whole.
“I think recognising the achievement of local businesses is hugely important,” commented David. “Essex Ltd is a great representation of the county, and I’m proud that the Wernick Group is playing a role.”
David’s speech included a brief overview of the 80 year history of the Group before examining its’ growth over the past two decades. Since 1995 the Group has increased turnover by 600%, and profit by 2000%, with their workforce more than doubling.
David told us; “A lot of factors have contributed to the success of the Wernick Group, but I believe our independence is at the core of it all. It gives us a focus and a flexibility that we wouldn’t otherwise have.”
The Wernick Group provides modular buildings and cabins from 36 sites around the UK and its Head Office is in Wickford, where it employs over 60 of its’ 550 employees.
