“Lucy has worked on the mobilisation of the Entrust contract, by providing detailed administrative support working with the team to upload transferring employee information.
Working additional hours to ensure that the deadline is achieved, Lucy has fitted in with the rest of the team really well...
This is all whilst managing the vital CRM for the BD team and liaising with other Glen departments to produce BD financial and performance reports.
Lucy has received fantastic feedback from new Glen employees she has contacted, who have commented on her professional, happy and welcoming approach.”

“Tessa Hollinshead and Sharon Hollinshead work at a prestigious aerospace composite manufacturer and reacted with rapid response and diligence when the facility was struck by a flood due to recent extreme weather conditions. The flood water was held at bay whilst areas were cleared and the team stayed on after their shift ended to ensure that the client could resume their operations safely as soon as possible.It helped with having the cleaning equipment and materials on site due to the nature of the clients’ environment. Tessa and Sharon have worked at this site for a number of years and continue to be highly respected and valued by the team at RCB and the client.
Thank you ladies”

Teresa Penny and her team at Burges Salmon
Mike Willet - our client at Burges Salmon wrote:
"Teresa has been an extremely valued member of the Burges Salmon team for many years. I say team because whilst Teresa technically a doesn’t work directly for us, I and many others consider her an integral part of what we do here. Teresa is a brilliant people manager and is tremendously respected by her team.
Every year at the company’s AGM, Burges Salmon present awards to those who have consistently gone above and beyond. This is called the ‘OSCA’ (Outstanding Service for Clients’ Award). There are over 1000 people who are employed at the firm so to be nominated is great recognition. The Glen Cleaning team and specifically Teresa managed to win the award for all their efforts throughout the pandemic which ensured we could remain safe whilst working in our office.
This really is a high honour and one I hope Teresa can feel proud of. Teresa has continued to be a huge asset to ensuring our high standards are met and I know she has had to put a lot of extra hours in order to do this. All of her effort is greatly appreciated and I would like to endorse Teresa’s nomination for the Local Hero award."
