Council Leader Gordan Low and Depute Leader Gillian Renwick announced the Council’s 2017 STARS at a ceremony in Bearsden Hall this week.
The STARS Awards are the annual Special Thanks And Recognition Scheme for Council employees and the winners in each of the five categories were as follows:
Employee Award (Internally Nominated): Jim McKnight, Streetscene Operative
Employee Award (Externally Nominated): Geralyn Hope, Support for Learning Assistant
Young Employee: William McCreadie, Leisure Assistant, Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre
Team Award (Internally Nominated): Canal Festival Organising Team
Team Award (Externally Nominated): Killermont Primary School Team
Council Leader Gordan Low explained, “Those who were shortleeted and their nominators were invited to our Awards ceremony at Hall and it was great to see so many people there to be recognised for the fantastic jobs that they do.
“It was incredibly difficult to identify just one winner in each category and huge congratulations go to all of our winners and also to our shortleet in recognition of the extra mile they go in delivering our essential Council services.
“This year was our third annual ceremony and our STARS Awards are going from strength to strength. It is pleasing to see the wide range of nominations we receive – from colleagues and from service users – recognising the great jobs that our employees carry out and the additional effort given by those that are nominated.”
