Employee of the month

Each month we reward members of our team who have gone above and beyond their duties and earned Employee of the Month and this winner was chosen due to their leadership and communication skills. 

We’re delighted to announce that September’s Employee of the Month has been awarded to Adil Hussain.

Adil is a great team player and works extremely hard. He has really proven himself as a valuable member of the team and we’re very proud of how he excels at working with individuals and teams. 

He was nominated by Robert Owen who has said:

“Adil has been consistently the strongest member of the team on the Dunelm refit, he always hunts for jobs if he has finished the last. He works hard for the benefit of the team and can be 100% trusted at all times to be doing something productive. He wants to be a racker and despite his young age, and relatively new status in the company, he is still determined to reach that goal.”

A special mention also goes to Stephen Fuller and Gary Croucher who have also shown exceptional performance.

Every Employee of the Month wins a £40 voucher – well done, Adil!
