Greentrees CaravanStore Staff Awards 2015
For well over 45 years Greentrees have relied upon good staff to make the business function well. For the last 6 years we have rewarded our staff with a slap up Christmas evening to give us all the chance to relax after a busy year leading the way in East Anglia in caravan and motorhome retail. Its at this event we announce our ‘Employee Of the Year’ which is chosen by way of a vote by the managers and Directors (Of course, these people are excluded from the vote – Ed)
The Accounts Team – Smile!!
2015 was one the hotly contested awards with 5 members of staff standing out amongst the strongest team of staff we have ever sported. The Directors also payed special mention of thanks to Lee Searle for his service to the company over 9 years in the Aftercare Department.
Firstly we have to mention the stand out Staff who just missed out on this years award:
Rachel Warren – Rachel took over heading the Aftercare team in August after the departure of Lee Searle. She has excelled at bringing the elements required to run our Aftercare and Bodyshop departments better than ever before achieving 2 day turn arounds on 80% of Aftercare service vehicles.
Jarred Froom – Jarred was given a special mention for his continued enthusiasm in the workshop. Jarred has been training as a technicians assistant but the only thing holding back from gaining Industry Qualifications is his age (He needs to be 18 to take the exams and he’s 17)
Dan Robotham/James Brown – Both these guys work in our sales team and are really growing into a formidable team. Their ethical approach to selling and teamwork (covering each others work when ones on holiday) is to be admired.
Abbie Jordan – Since Abbie’s return after taking Maternity leave she has settled back in to her role in warranty claim exceptionally. Even tho she is only part time our warranty claim lead times are some of the quickest in the UK – Well done Abbie!
So To The Winners!
So we begin with the ‘Runner Up’……..
Mother and Son – The Abbott’s
Alison Abbott – Alison joined the team this year as a shop advisor. She has settled in so well and learned the complicated world of caravans and motorhomes so well the Managers felt she deserved recognition. For 2016 Alison will be taking over the reigns of Greentrees CaravanStore hire fleet (HireMe Leisure) from Hayley Norton who leaves on maternity. Well Done Alison….keep it up!
……And the Winner is:
Neil Greentree Goes head to head with Scott Abbott
Scott Abbott – Scott joined Greentrees as a service assistant 18 months ago and has worked extremely hard to gain the knowledge and skills required to be promoted to a service ‘Guru’ within the Greentree Company. His approach to his work is similar to his life outside of Geentrees in the gym – ‘You gotta train to gain’. Well done to Scott is this excellent achievement within the Group.
It may not have passed your attention that this is indeed a Mother and Son winning sweep! – which makes it even more amazing.
So there you go……another great year for all the staff at Greentrees CaravanStore – now who will win in 2016??
Lynn and Hayley – Another drink girls!!
