Our working practices are founded on 8 key principals; innovation, quality, flexibility, service, specialization, partnership, respect & prudence
Innovation:
Imperial don’t create a need or drive a demand – our customers do.
Having the ability & will to work with our customers to achieve innovative results is critical to both parties success.
By doing this our customers’ have their new products to market quickly & efficiently and Imperial stay at the leading edge of market needs.
Quality:
Not only of product but as a overall concept throughout the whole Imperial organization.
Product quality is critical as without this we don’t have a business
Quality of staff and subsequently quality of thinking, process and practice is needed to achieve quality products & services at all levels
Imperial staff are highly motivated towards the end goal regardless of their position in the process chain
Imperial group facilities are managed to exacting quality control procedures and are approved to UL and ISO9000:2001 levels
Flexibility:
Be ready to be flexible and see it as an opportunity.
Rigidity in a technologically fast moving environment can be a block to advancement.
If our customers and suppliers had crystal balls they wouldn’t be our customers and suppliers they would be on their yachts.
Specialization:
Don’t readily attempt to do things that are outside our area of expertise despite temptation to do so.
There are already other organizations doing these things better than we can without significant investment.
Invest in what we know we do well and have the structure to improve upon.
Partnership:
Partnerships in all stages of design, manufacture and supply are critical.
We must support our partners in every aspect possible to ensure that projects are completed efficiently.
Respect:
Treat all others in the manner that you would expect to be treated yourself.
This principal applies to our relationships with our customers, suppliers and colleagues regardless of their position in the supply chain.
Good grace and common manners are free so use them liberally.
Prudence:
Managing costs and working efficiently is key to being able to offer competitive pricing.
We think hard about what we spend and work hard at maximizing efficiencies as all costs to ensure we can offer the lowest possible prices to our customers.
The more prudent we are the more saving we can offer to our customers allowing them to be competitive in their marketplace.
Service:
If we give bad service our customers will look elsewhere.
If we give good service our customers will come back.
The highest possible level of technical and commercial customer service is absolutely essential.
