We have a truly exciting announcement about a valued member of our team! We have a team member up for an award!
The Safety & Health Excellence (SHE) Awards UK celebrate innovation and achievement across the UK’s health and safety industries. The program and the award encompass the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) Awards which have been designed to promote innovation and excellence within the occupational health and safety sphere. The awards have been created to help strengthen industries and SHE activities around the country.
We are proud and pleased to announce that J&I Cleaning’s Sara Czerniawska has been nominated for a SHE Award for 2023! Shortlisted for the Alan McArthur Unsung Hero Award category, she has beat out 220+ entries to take a place on the list.
