CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR VALUES AWARDS WINNERS!

Our directors hosted an awards dinner and disco at The Hilton Hotel in Leeds recently to recognise the achievements of our fabulous team.

Organised by Neil and Becki from our People and Culture team, the event celebrates the values and behaviours that underpin our business.

Throughout 2021, staff voted for their colleagues to be recognised as monthly Values Award Winners in the six categories of Team, Excellence, Honest, Responsible, Accountable and Positive. The management team then selected the six overall champions from the 12 monthly winners.

Each of the six main awards recognised team members’ commitment to championing the values that are at the heart of the business. The awards were presented by our co-owner, Tom Megginson; Chairman, David Stanhope and Finance Director, Charlie Barker.
