Two more businesses have been awarded the prestigious Investor in People accreditation.

The award-winning Clacton-based Nannas nursery chain is expanding across Essex and has further plans for expansion nationally.

The family-run business offers both childcare and training and managing director Mark Crawford said: 'Nannas has already gained recognition for recent achievements, and we want to put the business in a stronger position moving forward.

'The process for gaining IiP accreditation helped us to put these plans into place and we are looking forward to further expansion.'

Flatford Mill Field Centre, at the heart of Constable Country, has also received IiP status.

Both organisations were helped in their bid by Business Link.
