With awards season in full swing, we thought we would join in on the action and celebrate our 2021 award winners from our end of year Forsbergees.
These peer voted annual awards were presented at the Forsberg Christmas party with categories based around our five company values plus the prestigious Newcomer and Employee of the Year accolades.
Employee of the Year
The most prestigious of all the Forsberg awards, the Employee of the Year was awarded to Production Technician John Manton. John was praised by his colleagues for “having the company’s best interests at heart” and “striving to support a better working environment”.
John first joined Forsberg as part of his work experience required to support his college course and subsequently advanced to an apprenticeship. Towards the end of this scheme, Forsberg were delighted to offer John the role of Production Test Technician, which he has been fulfilling to a high standard for just over a year. It has been a privilege to have supported John’s career progression so far and to witness how valued he is within his team and the company. Human Resources Advisor, Sandra Strong, earnt a well-deserved second place in the voting.
