KWL
I’ve been With KWL since leaving school, working my way up from an apprentice Joiner to my current role as a site supervisor. It’s been a journey, and I’ve learned a lot along the way.
I was surprised to be nominated for this award, as I feel I’m only carrying out the duties of my current role, however I feel honoured that the people who I work with have taken the time to think of me in this way.
I always try to encourage my team to develop themselves, approach their work with enthusiasm and if they have any problems we tackle it together as a team. This has enabled us to build good levels of trust amongst all members & also give our clients confidence that we’re a team that can deliver.
At the end of the day, this nomination isn’t just about me. It’s a reflection of the whole teams efforts. We’re in it together and that’s what makes us successful.
