London-based Key Enviro Solutions Limited and Marino Agudelo won the award/accolade for Supervisor of the Year in the 2022 Kimberly-Clark Professional Golden Service Awards.
Created over 30 years ago, the biennial Golden Service Awards (@GoldenServAward) is today one of the most prestigious events and sought-after accolades in the FM and cleaning industry. The event provides the opportunity for FM companies, contract cleaners and in-house cleaning teams to showcase excellence performed under unprecedented challenges, setting the benchmark for exceptional standards. Awards were presented to winners across 19 categories at a formal ceremony on 26 May at the InterContinental London Park Lane, hosted by one of the UK’s most popular comedians, Ed Byrne.
Judging was independently overseen by the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc).
Stan Atkins, Chief Executive Officer at BICSc adds:
“The quality of the entries in this edition of the Golden Service Awards was higher and more extraordinary than ever before. Innovation, the environment, employee wellbeing and not surprisingly, flexibility, lead the agenda. Despite the challenges of the pandemic there was a huge amount of focus on staff welfare, mental health and diversity demonstrating that the evolution of the industry was not halted, but boosted, during the last two years of never-before-seen challenges.
“It is also clear from the entries that companies are still investing in their people and inspiring their teams through leadership with compassion and empathy. This brings huge benefits from boosting morale to employee retention and with staff retention being something that has today become more critical than ever.”
The judges commented on Marino Agudelo; “This supervisor has developed the role over a number of years and goes above and beyond for the training and development of the team, leading by example and providing an exemplary service to the customer”.
“Marino has developed a reputation for remembering the little details and celebrating them on a regular basis. Teammates say Marino is the type of boss who never forgets a birthday or a work anniversary. Not only does he remember those important milestones, he also takes the time to get to know all of the team who report to him and makes it a point to find out about their interests, both in and outside of work.
Marino cares about each individual on his team, he’s the person that everyone feels comfortable approaching for help or advice.
Every morning his team has a 15- minute daily briefing, where they gather to discuss things like quality, workflow and good news stories escalated from the client’s site facilities team” added Neil Fletcher BIDS and Operations.
