Four Manx Telecom staff received awards for their outstanding work, with each winner reflecting one of the company’s core values - enterprising, proactive, confident and trusted. The presentations were recently made at the leading communication provider’s annual motivational event and staff briefing, held over three days at the Palace Hotel in Douglas.
• Enterprising – Darren Shaw, Global Solutions Business Development Manager – for growth of strategic accounts.
• Proactive – Paul Jones, Senior Field Technician – for corrective action following the Laxey Bridge collapse.
• Confident – Lisa Pugh, Consumer Sales Clerical Officer – for cross-department billing of wholesale customers.
• Trusted – Luke Rowe, Mobile Networks Technical Specialist – for development and deployment of Global SIM solutions.
Winners were chosen by a judging panel of directors from 38 nominations made by colleagues. Each winner received a custom made wooden trophy made by The Manx Workshop and ?500.
Manx Telecom Chief Executive Officer Gary Lamb said: “This was the fourth consecutive year we have held our annual ‘staff briefing’ event and, as always, it was a great opportunity to thank our colleagues for their hard work and recognise outstanding achievements. It’s important for us to invest time in this type of event so that everyone understands where Manx Telecom is heading, the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, and the role that each of us must play in delivering our business objectives. But equally it’s an opportunity to listen and learn from our colleagues across the business, and celebrate everything which makes Manx Telecom a great company to be part of.”
