Pamela Walton – ‘Our’ Dee Richards Pride Champion 2022!
The Dee Richards Pride ‘Champion’ Award is the highest accolade an individual within our organisation can receive.
Now in its 7th year it stands as a lasting memorial to ‘Dee Richards’ who epitomized more than anyone the we clean ethos, providing an outstanding cleaning provision to our client base whilst displaying the utmost professionalism during her time as a fully committed Contract Manager.
With this in mind, our 2022 ‘Pride Champion’ Pamela Walton is more than deserving of this Award, displaying a genuine desire to deliver service excellence to our longstanding client UK-NSI in her capacity as Site Cleaning Manager.
Based in Redditch, Worcestershire UK-NSI Co., Ltd are the European manufacturing hub of Nippon Seiki, a Japanese company specialising in the supply of high-technology driver information systems to the automotive sector. This advanced and expansive site employs some 400 people, where we have provided cleaning services across their office space, production and assembly areas since 2007.
This purpose-built industrial facility contains numerous differing floor coverings that by their very design are intended to ensure dust particulate matter is kept to an absolute minimum and hence provides a challenging and demanding environment to keep almost hygienically clean. As Site Cleaning Manager Pam has had to fully grasp the importance of implementing the appropriate cleaning methodology for each area of this cutting edge production facility whilst consistently working to rigorous health & safety procedures to achieve the best and safest outcome for our client.
After being crowned Pride Award Champion Pam fully appreciates that by receiving this Award, she like Dee has contributed something very special to our business and is highly regarded by the Directors of we clean, Robb Paton, Contract Manager and our direct client contact for UK-NSI, David Somerville, Facilities Engineering Manager.
Robb who works closely with Pam was delighted that she was chosen as this year’s Champion Pride Award winner commenting:
“In such a short time Pam in role as Site Cleaning Manager at UK-NSI has performed wonders in enhancing the delivery of our core services with the daily management of the cleaning function going from strength to strength. Pam’s grasp of the unique operational demands of this contract together with her excellent working relationship with our client contact, David Somerville has played a huge part in her receiving this most prestigious we clean award.”
David Somerville was equally as enthusiastic when hearing that Pam was set to be awarded the we clean Pride Champion award for 2022 commenting:
“Pam demonstrates integrity, passion and pride in everything that she does at the site. She has built an excellent cleaning team over the last 12 months demonstrating strong leadership qualities. She is not only very popular with her own colleagues but also with our onsite Management and Production staff who really appreciate the excellent level of service delivered across all facilities. Pam has a strong but friendly personality and we couldn’t be more pleased for her. Well done Pam!”
Finally Director Paul Concannon commented:
“It was clear that Pam was shocked to have received this award but she was very quick to acknowledge the role her Cleaning Team on site have played in allowing her to manage the contract at UK NSI so well. Pam didn’t know Dee but it was so satisfying to relay to her the qualities Dee brought to our organisation such as Passion, Integrity, humility and that wonderful desire to do the job right – everything that Pam has brought to UK NSI over the past 15 months or so and we couldn’t have a more deserving Pride Award Champion for 2022! Many congratulations Pam we are so very proud to have you in our team!”
