The Outstanding People Awards
Nominees
The finalists and their categories (along with a taster of their nominations) are:
Service Excellence
- Liz Hughes, Sheltered Housing Warden, Millrock and Panrock Court,
Troon
Liz is an outstanding warden. She always has a cheery word when she contacts us
in the morning. Nothing is too much trouble. [Her] response when I suffered a serious
blood loss probably saved my life.
- Lorraine Cord, Community Development Officer
Lorraine is an exceptional lady. She gives 100% and more to her work. We could never
have found our feet or achieved what we have this past year without her.
- Allan McFarlane, School Crossing Patroller, Ayr Grammar Primary
School
Allan is an excellent ambassador for South Ayrshire Council. He has a cheery, positive
demeanour and provides excellent customer care. He can always be relied upon for
a friendly greeting and lifts the spirits of all his customers, young and old.
Innovation
- Paul Cuthbert, Community Support Officer
He has made a difference in the area when I stayed there and he [taught] us how
to fly fish and fly tie. We came from a difficult area but Paul never treated us
like that.
Equalities in Action
- Jane Happs, Principal Teacher of Supported Learning, Queen Margaret
Academy
She is very determined in the way in which she fights to get the best possible educational
and life experiences for her pupils.
Sustainability
- Annabel Beattie, Environment Performance Officer, County Buildings
Annabel deserves this award because she has taken to her bike to actually see things
from the perspective of all cyclists. She has seen for herself by taking to her
bike the benefits she has helped to establish for all of us keen cyclists.
Inspirational Young Employee
- Claire Dewar, Probationer Teacher, Symington (Supply Teacher at
Doonfoot Primary after the summer break)
She has a remarkable ability to teach a whole class but yet understand and improve
the issues of each individual child. The children all adore and respect her.
These employees will be joined by other finalists with the winner in each category
announced in October this year.
