At Elior UK, giving our colleagues the opportunity to grow and progress is fundamental to our success and a key part of our People Promise. Adeel Mahmood is a tremendous example of a colleague applying the skills learned from their apprenticeship to the workplace and their personal growth journey. His desire for growth has included taking on increased responsibilities and promotion whilst studying for his level 7 finance apprenticeship and he has demonstrated a strong commitment to continue developing his skills, whilst leading by example and being a role model. It’s no surprise that Adeel is an Elior UK award for excellence winner too, taking home last year’s award in our Invest in Me category. We are all very proud of you Adeel and can’t wait to see where your journey takes you! #apprenticeships #careerprogression #careers

Sometimes it's all about saying thank you! This is Gina, who is retiring today after more than 32 years as a cleaner at our Baker Hughes Montrose site. Gina is held in such high regard by her colleagues that it was only fitting that her big day was marked in style by the team with a cake, decorations, and plenty of gifts. Thank you Gina for your loyal service and also to Marius Coste, Group Cleaning Manager, who wrote this very fitting note which we thought we'd share. "Dear Gina, on this bittersweet day, the sun shines a little brighter as we celebrate your well-deserved retirement after 32 incredible years of dedicated service to our company. Your hard work, positivity, and unwavering commitment have not only kept our workplace spotless but have also touched the hearts of everyone you crossed paths with. Your tireless work ethic has been an inspiration to us all. You have not only cleaned our offices and workshops but also brightened our days with your warm personality. Your presence will be deeply missed around here, but your legacy of hard work and kindness will always remain. As you embark on this new chapter of your life, remember that retirement is not the end, but a new beginning filled with endless possibilities and well-deserved relaxation. May your days be filled with joy, laughter, and all the things you love. You have earned every moment of this next journey. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your decades of service, friendship, and positivity. You have truly made a difference, and your legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all those you have touched. Wishing you a retirement as bright and beautiful as you are." #longservice #dedication #retirement #loyalty #youmadeadifference
