Inaugural Core Value Awards

We celebrated our inaugural Core Value Awards here at Awdry Bailey & Douglas this week. Three members of staff were chosen by the Management Team as the winners out of a very impressive 35 nominations in total. 


All three of these members of staff were recognised as having demonstrated the core values of ABD and have done so consistently throughout their time with us.

And those winners were... Eve Clarke, Michelle Morgan and Maxine Nutting. All three of them were the clear and well-deserved winners and they have each received a trophy and a £50.00 gift voucher. 

We are very fortunate at ABD to have such a fantastic group of people working for us and we are grateful for all of the hard work, dedication and commitment from everyone here. It is the people in the firm that have made it a success and long may that continue.

Here are some of the nomination testimonials from other members of staff for each of our winners:
