This month, we are proud to recognise Mark Foster as our Employee of the Month for July, in recognition of his outstanding performance and dedication during our first store closure project at B&Q Sutton.

 

Mark demonstrated exceptional dedication by working tirelessly on the project, often staying behind to ensure all targets were met. His unwavering focus and willingness to go above and beyond regular working hours were instrumental in the project\’s success. Throughout this assignment, Mark maintained a positive attitude, never once complaining about any aspect of the job.

Communication is key in any project, and Mark excelled in this area. His communication with management and collection drivers was consistently clear, timely, and effective, contributing significantly to the smooth operation of the project. This level of coordination was crucial in maintaining efficiency and avoiding misunderstandings.

Mark showed remarkable initiative and reliability, frequently starting his shifts early and working efficiently with minimal supervision. This proactive approach allowed for a more streamlined workflow and reduced the need for constant oversight.

Congratulations, Mark, on this well-deserved recognition! Your contributions are truly appreciated, and we are fortunate to have you as part of the Bluestones One team.

Special mentions go out to Daniel Fairly and Luke Randle for their outstanding contributions during the month of July.
