Earlier this year, we asked staff to vote for their colleagues for our 'Employee Awards'. The winners and runners-up were announced at the Christmas party at the end of last month with 13 award categories, including 'The Neatest Nook', 'The Always Hungry' and 'The Biggest Smile Award' below are this year's winners.
Winner: Terry Cooper
Runner-up: Tony Green
Our System Support Assistant, Terry Cooper, scooped up the 'Employee of The Year Award' with the majority vote. Terry is always on hand to help with IT issues that arise and supports our IT Manager, Darren Earle. He helps with regular upgrades, producing reports, has been fundamental in automating many of our processes and is someone who quietly listens to the problems being presented, working up a solution where he can.
Winner: Isaac Onions
Runner-up: Tom Chilton
Isaac joined us via the agency in 2019, working outside on the Plant Centre and was taken on full time a year ago and most recently started working in sales, he is doing a great job and has a bright future ahead of him, well done Isaac.
Winner: Adrian Price and Tony Green
Runner-up: Rob Richardson
We'd say well done, but I think this award requires more of a thank you, thank you for staying when you are required to do so and even when you are not. Thank you for going above and beyond each working day. We hope the nightcaps come in handy if you ever decide to take a nap under your desks when it's past 8 pm...
Winner: Chris Davis
Runner-up: Eric Buckby
I think we can all agree that Chris is our office rocket, almost sprinting from one task to the next. Thanks for all your hard work, Chris.
Winner: Darren Fawebert
Runner-up: Simon Harrison
Darren had the majority vote for this one, with several mentions of the ice lollies he consumed during the summer, Darren, well done, but please leave some ice lollies for the rest of us next year!
Winner: Steve Morton
Runner-up: John Price
Steve has been with us for over 23 years and was crucial during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, he never stopped, worked additional hours and held his team together, we couldn't have operated without him - Thanks, Steve!
Winner: Martyn Osborne
