Investors in People At our first attempt, Perceptive Engineering achieved the standards required to attain the Bronze Award from IIP. The inspectors told us that we were only just short of the much-more-rigorous Silver standard, so that was next! UPDATE:We achieved the Silver Award in 2018, this time only just missing Gold. So that's the next target!
