We're delighted to name Craig Smith as our Employee of the Month for July.

A huge well done to Craig Smith who has won our employee of the month award for July! Craig received several votes this month thanks to his continuous hard work. He’s always willing to go the extra mile too, which is why we’re delighted that he has won this award and a £50 voucher!

Craig has had a number of difficult B&Q Decor stores over the last month, but despite this he has delivered great results and received great feedback. Craig even got an email from the Kingfisher H&S Audit team regarding his positive responses and enthusiasm when challenged around Health & Safety points and the ongoing project. These audits are very rigorous and to get a call out of this nature is very commendable.
Craig has also received a number of positive comments from the various team members that have been working for him on decor stating that they thoroughly enjoy working for him and appreciate his leadership style.”

Bluestones One truly appreciates the hard work and contributions of Craig,  making him the well-deserved Employee of the Month. We’re also extremely proud of the fantastic feedback we have received about him and his work.

Bluestones One congratulates Craig on this much-deserved recognition. We admire his outstanding efforts and look forward to seeing more of his positive impact on our team.
