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.

How did your journey at Bluestones One begin and what has it been like since?I joined the business in February 2020 and was really excited with my role and new opportunity to develop. Unfortunately, I was grounded slightly by the pandemic. This then presented the business and me with lots of obstacles which we had never experienced but with the support from the internal team and from our partner company, Bluestones Investment Group (BIG), we overcame these. Whilst many businesses have failed to survive, Installations continued to develop and grow its customer base. The next few years may present many challenges, but I am excited to drive the business forward in the coming years. What do you enjoy about working in this industry?I believe you must be a self-motivator and be ready to tackle daily challenges. Each day presents itself with new challenges, and whilst this can be difficult, you get a sense of achievement when you deliver for the customer. One thing that really excites me is the opportunity to see lots of the UK whilst on client and site meetings. We have a fantastic internal support team who are young and ambitious, and this allows us to develop.
