Shergroup's
first birthday of outreach community support work with
young pupils at an Indian school has been given a national
pat on the back through exposure on a private Indian news
channel.
Shergroup, the UK's leading High Court Enforcement Agency,
is one of just a handful of UK companies which is committed
to developing close links with primary schools including
many children from challenging backgrounds in India.
As Shergroup goes from strength to strength as a leading
brand for outsourced services to the credit industry through
its India operation, so does the Shergroup partnership
with the 700-pupil Adarsh Prathmike Vidyala primary school
in Noida.
Shergroup's Chief Executive, Claire Sandbrook, has forged
a personal relationship with the school, and the valuable
financial support that Shergroup gives has now attracted
the attention of a local Indian Hindi TV channel in Pehli
Khabar - First News - which has broadcast
Shergroup's latest visit on Indian television.
Among the range of provisions given to the school by
Claire and Shergroup are notebooks, stationary, chairs
and a table for the headmistress's office, a water tank
for making safe and hygienic drinking water available
for the children, and chocolates and drinks for each child.
A film crew followed Claire on her recent visit to the
school, where she was welcomed by headmistress, Mrs Usha
Bhalla.
Shergroup's Indian operation includes 41 specialist,
highly-qualified staff, who together make up one of the
leading providers of outsourced business services, specialising
in enforcement, security, legal, and IT solutions.
Such services include administrative support, communications
such as writing letters and emails, debt recovery, website
design, data collation, and transcription services. Modern
data links and technologies mean the processes can be
carried out quickly, whatever the time difference.
Ravi Bhalla, Shergroup's Offshore Operations Manager
and head of the India operation, said: “Shergroup's
work with the school is another example of how seriously
the company takes its social and corporate responsibilities
and its commitment to local communities.
“The links between Shergroup and the school provide
mutual benefits which can be felt every day in the community
life of the primary school.”
Mr Bhalla continues: “We pride ourselves on our
consistent 'Can Do' attitude for all of our clients and
on the outstanding quality of our service. We have extended
this to the school, so whether it is in terms of enforcement
or in terms of our support for the local community, Shergroup
leads the way.”
Shergroup's Chief Executive Officer, Claire Sandbrook,
says: “The team in India was set up in 2007, and
we are very proud of the way it has gone from strength
to strength and is consistently building up important
social and cultural links with the wider community -
especially with the Noida primary school, which is close
to all our hearts.
"Shergroup's India operation is a vital part of
our business, and as a results-driven team they are playing
a major role in the development of the company across
the globe.”
