This Christmas our Giving Tree was organised at the ServiceMaster office by Eve Dee Shapland for the Salvation Army, in Newbury.
Presents were supplied by staff for young adults. These were taken on Saturday 15th December to the Newbury Salvation Army and received by Lieutenant Andrew Williams.
We would like to thank all staff who have kindly donated and supplied gifts.
ServiceMaster Newbury and The Laundry Basket hosted their 5th annual Coffee Morning on 28th September. The event started at 8.00am in the Laundry Basket hosted by Frances and Tina, then ServiceMaster offices continued with the cake selling from 9.00am until 12.30 along with a mobile unit delivery to local businesses.
The grand total this year was £773.33 which is fantastic and Eve Dee Shapland, who organized the event, would like to thank all the staff and their families for supporting the event by baking, eating and distributing cakes.
Earlier this summer, Jaz Baxter, Supervisor at Severn Vale Housing, was invited to the annual National ServiceMaster UK Conference to receive the ServiceMaster Clean’s UK Employee of the Year Award.
The ceremony was held in a hotel in the Midlands, with Franchisees from right across the UK invited. Jaz attended the ceremony with Nick to receive the much-coveted award.
Jaz joined us in 2012 and since then has been demonstrating a commitment that goes above and beyond in all areas of her work as Site Supervisor at Severn Vale, Tewkesbury.
Earlier this year Jaz was awarded the prestigious Avril Bannister Award. This Award was set up in 2011 in honour of former ServiceMaster Clean by Deeland colleague, Avril Bannister, who sadly passed away following a battle with breast cancer.
Each year the award is presented to a member of staff who exhibits the same high standards in work and conduct, embracing the core ethics of ServiceMaster Clean by Deeland.
Jaz’s good work isn’t just recognised by our customers though, team members have praised Jaz’s ongoing hard work and positive attitude too, nominating her for two OSCARS last year in November and August.
Here are just a few selections of the feedback that were provided in Jaz’s OSCAR nominations.
“Jaz worked extremely hard trying to get the job completed on time whilst keeping a high standard approach. Jaz always had a smile on her face even though the job felt like it couldn’t be completed.”
“I know we are only a small section of the ServiceMaster team but Jaz always puts in over 100% effort and attention to make sure that the clients and ServiceMaster are happy.”
Nick says: “Jaz goes above and beyond so often that we have lost track of how many times she has helped out on contracts, smoothed the path with clients and stepped in when there are staff shortages, extra requirements and help needed. She is an example to us all and we are very fortunate to have her as part of the SM team.”
Deeland Ltd t/a ServiceMaster were recently awarded the combined cleaning services contract for Gloucester City Homes Severn Vale Housing Society, following a successful tender process.
The success of this tender and the acquisition of the contract has been down to a considerable team effort from the Communal Services Department who will manage it, plus others in New Business, Business Services/Operations, Human Resources and Accounts.
Some of the ServiceMaster Staff completed the Reading Pretty Muddy event on Saturday 14th July, they have managed to raise £510.00 for this very worthy cause. Well done!
We were proud to support Thatcham Tornadoes at their recent Football Tournament on the 19th & 20th May 2018.
