Why It Matters 

For us, being a Supporter of the Good Employment Charter is a commitment to continuous improvement.  

Our Managing Director, Scott Rothwell, has built DASCO on a foundation of integrity, inclusivity, and community values.  

As a neurodiverse leader, Scott understands the importance of fostering a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and supported. He is committed to ensuring inclusivity regardless of background or ability.

We already take pride in our high staff retention rates, our dedication to upskilling and promoting from within, and our commitment to supporting the wider community—from championing local businesses to backing social impact projects like the Hindley Cemetery renovation. 

Looking Ahead 

By aligning with the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter, we reaffirm our people-first approach to business.  

This is just one of the many steps we are taking to ensure DASCO remains not only a great place to work but a company that leads by example in shaping the future of employment in Greater Manchester. 

We are excited to continue this journey and work towards full accreditation with the Charter, further strengthening our commitment to our team and the community.
