We’re proud to announce Chris Newall as our Employee of the Month for January 2026!

At Bluestones One, we’re proud to recognise the dedication, commitment and positive attitude shown by our team members. For January 2026, we’re delighted to announce that Chris Newall has been named our Employee of the Month, following a nomination from Mark Green.

Chris consistently sets an exceptional standard in everything he does. His dedication to his role is clear, and he approaches each day with a strong work ethic and a positive mindset that doesn’t go unnoticed by those around him.

In his nomination, Mark highlighted Chris’s reliability and commitment, sharing:

“Chris always turns up for work on time and is always the first back from break. Chris gives one hundred percent in every aspect of his work.”

Chris’s attitude and consistency make a real difference to the team. His willingness to give his all, day in and day out, reflects the values we strive to uphold at Bluestones One and sets a great example for others to follow.

Congratulations to Chris on being named January’s Employee of the Month! Thank you for your continued hard work, dedication and the high standards you bring to your role.

We’d also like to give a special mention to Mike Webb and Chloe Stevenson for their positive contributions and ongoing commitment throughout the month. Your efforts are truly appreciated, and we thank you both for the support you provide to the team.
