Christmas arrived at Packaging Automation in December, but as seasonal festivities began it was essentially business as usual as we continued to support our customers #puttingourcustomersfirst and our team.
Here’s a quick recap of what happened this month at Packaging Automation….
Exceptional Employee of the Year 2021
Ashley Hunt, Systems Engineer was awarded Annual Exceptional Employee of the Year in recognition of his outstanding effort and support in stepping in to cover on-call service at short notice to meet customer needs during a very busy period. Well done, Ashley!
We would also like to say well done to the quarterly winners in 2021 – Paul Butler, Beth Greenway and Andy Wardell.
New Starters
We had three new starters join #TeamPA this month:
· Jenny Whitney – Sales Ledger
· Quentin Wylie – Graduate Sales Engineer
· Sharon Warner – Finance Assistant
Welcome to the team !
Apprentices
We remain committed to the recruitment of apprentices to our Packaging Automation Apprenticeship Scheme which combines formal training, further education / professional qualifications with on-the-job training.
In December 2021, our current apprentices received certificates for their academic achievements so far.
Training
Congratulations go to Sarah Morgado this month who has received her certificate for completing a level 1 qualification in Mental Health Awareness #TeamPA #packagingautomation #mentalhealthmatters #personaldevelopment
Machines
You would be forgiven for thinking that December is all about Christmas festivities and whilst we were not short on festive cheer we still had machines, conveyors and tooling to get to customers, as always the Projects Team didn’t fail to deliver.
