Managing Director Jackie Woodall presents Grace Murphy with our July Kate Molton Award.  

Lez Nortcliff, Regional Director said “since I started working with Grace, I quickly realised that she knew the schools and teams like the back of her hand.  Grace works at St John Paul MAC and understands the needs of the staff and contract and works with new ideas and changes to improve things.  Grace took to our bespoke systems and procedures well and is a big fan or our Culverdocs forms.  Grace is also not afraid to make hard decisions or go through the hardest route to achieve the results we need to be ‘infinitely better’.  Grace does not rest on her laurels for an easy working life.  Grace has a wicked sense of humour and never fails to brighten a long or hard week with a laugh along the way”.

Our June winner for the Kate Molton Award is Contract Manager, Angela Atkinson form the Ebbw Vale site in Coleg Gwent.

Toni Finn, Senior Area Manager said “Angela has worked in the college for 35 years and has been with bespoke since day one of the contract.  She is without doubt one of the best Contract Managers I have worked with.  Her paperwork and organisation skills are the best I’ve ever seen.  

Angela has now semi-retired but will not retire completely because she is that committed to her role.  She often stays over her time to carry out additional training with staff or interview candidates.  Her team have nothing but the upmost respect for her and this shows in heaps and stacks as she always gets the best out of her team.  Angela really does deserve this win!
