Staff Awards

One Fylde Staff Awards Night

Our inaugural One Fylde Staff Awards Night took place in November at Lowther Pavilion. Almost 200 staff and supported people attended. The evening was compered by Hayley Kay of BBC Radio Lancashire.

We received an amazing number of nominations, over 160 across a total of eight awards! These came from supported people, family members, colleagues and external professionals who liaise with One Fylde.

No awards ceremony is complete without great entertainment and ours came from two of our supported individuals. Ventriloquist, Scott, brought the first half of the evening to a close assisted by his dummy ‘Bone’ – a cheeky, shaggy dog. The second half of the evening was opened by James who gave a beautiful rendition of a Scottish medley on his piano accordion.

The evening concluded with a celebration of One Fylde’s longest-serving staff. 92 staff members have been with the organisation for over ten years – a remarkable achievement in the Care industry. They were presented with gift vouchers. The longest-serving staff member, Gail Addison, joined the organisation on 15th September 1986 and has completed over 33 years’ service. Gail began her career in Care as a community support worker, became an area manager and is now a member of the HR team.

In addition to our main sponsors, Windmill Properties, we would like to thank the Grey Matter Group; Hettle Andrews Insurers; Simpson Judge Recruitment; TLL Accountants and Royal Bank of Scotland who all sponsored awards.
