ALEX VINER Apprentice Ambassador Award

BEN NEWMARCH Academic Excellence Award

The Apprentice Ambassador Award is presented to those who always look to be a good representative of our core values both within and beyond the business. Working in the Internal Audit team requires Alex to be a role model for business improvement and he has begun leading audits in the short time he has been with us. His ability to remain focused, and yet pay attention to detail, has led to Alex highlighting errors that have led to business processes being strengthened, thus resulting in greater accuracy of reporting. As a result, Alex has become a trusted source of assurance, and he is now given responsibility for presenting his ideas and findings to senior management, with his clear and concise presentation a pleasure to see in a young person. In addition, Alex was recognised for his contribution in raising the profile of people with disabilities and specifically his work with TfL to increase disability awareness on our sites. Alex also makes a valuable contribution to the people forums to ensure all our people are given equal opportunities in the workplace. He is an example of someone who has been given an opportunity, taken on challenges outside his comfort zone, and really flourished in the work environment.

The Academic Excellence Award is given to those who consistently perform at a high level within both their studies and their work. Ben was selected as the winner for his excellent ability to pick up new skills and produce quality work with great attention to detail. Ben’s Consultancy Services team commented on how they find it hard to believe he has only been doing this for just over two years. Ben consistently achieves very high grades whilst studying for his Civil Engineering degree at London South Bank University and he balances all areas of his work and learning. Ben’s strong work ethic is a particular reason why he is held in such high regard. He is a great team member, selfless, punctual and professional, and readily helps anyone in the team and in the wider FM Conway family.
