Contract Personnel Temporary Worker Receives 10 Year Service Award

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:15:04 GMT

Contract Personnel were delighted to present a 10 Year Service Award to Mrs. Pauline Stewart who recently celebrated 10 years as a temporary worker with our Norwich Industrial team.

Since registering in 1997, Pauline has undertaken in excess of 300 temporary assignments for Contract Personnel and has become one of our best known and most relied upon temporary workers.

“Pauline is the ideal temporary worker” says Norwich Branch Manager Anna Parry. “She is able to turn her hand to a range of different roles, is 100% reliable and incredibly hard working and we often receive bookings specifically requesting Pauline”.

Over the years Pauline has been offered a number of permanent positions by client companies but has always declined. “I have a number of outside interests,” says Pauline, “and temporary work allows me the flexibility to enjoy my hobbies and interests as I wish”.
