Ward Security announced its top performing employees of the year at its annual Star Employee Awards Ceremony. From its 550 strong staff, Ward Security presented nine employees with a Star Award in recognition of their commitment, loyalty and for achievements during their work in 2013. At the ceremony left to right are David Ward, Stacey Solomon, Lee Chapman, Gareth Tancred CEO BiFM who presented the awards and Kevin Ward.
Winners included employees from the London, Central, South East and West regional Ward Security offices with two members of staff receiving special recognition awards. Alex Ambrose, who has been an employee for seven years was formally recognised by receiving the Outstanding Achievement award. Alex was described at the ceremony as someone “who prefers to work under the radar” and has amazed head office with his ability to collate and analyse data as well as problem solve. He also plays a pivotal part in the management of the company’s bespoke client help desk service.
Lee Chapman was this year’s winner of the Employee of the Year Award. Lee, who was employed as a dog handler in May 2007, progressed to the position of contract manager and is viewed by Ward as one of its rising stars. He was described by the panel of judges as someone who is proactive and diligent and an outstanding ambassador for the company. He was also noted as someone who is a thoughtful and compassionate person which is clearly visible in the relationships he has with his clients and in his interaction with the dogs he trains.
David Ward, Managing Director of Ward Security said: “Kevin and I always look forward to these awards with a great sense of pride and satisfaction and we are delighted to host this evening as a thank you and in recognition to the outstanding members we have at Ward Security. Such is the quality of our team that this year’s winners were harder than ever for the judges to decide upon. We would like to congratulate everyone who was nominated throughout the course of the year and to tonight’s worthy winners.”
