Rachael Huggins, Cleaning Supervisor at one of our sites in Tewkesbury was our clear winner for our February Kate Molton Award. Nominated by Area Manager Holly Griffiths because she is such a dedicated member of staff.
Rachael worked beyond her hours to make sure the site was covered through times of the recent floods. Our client also recognised Rachael saying:
“Exceptional dedication and commitment. Tewkesbury pretty much became an island due to flooding and unfortunately parts of Rachael’s property were flooded. After making sure her animals were all safe, she waded through the flood water and still came into work to fulfil her cleaning duties, she really didn’t need to do that, a lot of others wouldn’t. Rachael went way above and beyond to fulfil her role, her house was surrounded and the water rising.
Rachael is committed to her team and maintains a high standard even in difficult times, I believe Rachael’s efforts deserve recognition and I highly recommend her for outstanding service”.
Rachael wins £100 of High Street vouchers, a smart quilted jacket, and one of our prestigious glass awards. Congratulations Rachael!
