Management
Management policy Today, more than ever before, policy statements are issued by most trade associations and organisations, and Seafield and Strathspey Estates, as a modern family run business are no exception. The Estates either conform to or are working towards implementation of high standards and guidelines issued by Scottish Land & Estates, Wildlife Estates, Scottish Quality Farm Assured Cereals, UK Forestry Standard and others. Seafield and Strathspey Estates recognise the employment resource as one of their major assets and give high priority to Health and Safety issues and the provision of a Group Personal Pension Scheme to provide for employees after their service years. The Estates now have a corporate management structure managing all business interests. Management employees are jointly employed by the principals, and service their requirements as if they were personal clients. Each member of the management team is highly skilled. Co-ordination, co-operation and information dispersal are achieved laterally within the management structure by regular meetings involving senior staff from all disciplines. Policy Objectives The Estates' objectives include responsibility for people, business, property, land, community, heritage, wildlife, environment and safety.
