A SOLIHULL bus operator is celebrating after an employee was handed a national award.
Elaine Mortimer, marketing manager, was named as the winner of a Stagecoach Excellence Award, from more than 25,000 colleagues across the country.
Elaine won the We Plan For The Future category after the judges decided that she consistently demonstrates proactive, forward-thinking behaviour that embody Stagecoach’s company values.
Judges said Elaine is known to be highly data-driven, always looking ahead to identify opportunities to improve results and processes and beyond her technical expertise, she was found to be an excellent colleague and trusted friend to her teammates – both approachable and thoughtful.
Over the past 12 months, Elaine is said to have made an impact through her work with Stagecoach’s Employee Engagement Group, where she has helped identify team needs early and shape initiatives that improve engagement and collaboration.
Mark Whitelocks, managing director of Stagecoach Midlands, said: “I am so proud of everything that Elaine has achieved – she represents everything that is best about our team and how we operate and run buses in our region.”
