Hi, my name is Anthony Green (I prefer to be known as Ant) and I am the Employee Director for First Essex. This is an elected position as voted for by my fellow colleagues. I'm based as a driver at the Hadleigh Depot and I also work with the management team for the benefit of everyone here at 'First Essex'.
I carry out regular visits to our Depots where I get the opportunity to listen to staff views, after all that is my main role to represent the views of all the staff in Essex and then air these views to managers at a local and national level. Safety tours and regular chats about Health and Safety to colleagues,identifying good practice where applicable, are carried out frequently.
Recently, I attended the UK South of England Excellence awards which was a great opportunity to recognise and celebrate outstanding individuals and teams who are at the forefront of our business and the way we utilize our values. I felt truly honoured to have been in attendance and I am glad to report that in Essex we had a number of nominations an awesome 10 within 13 categories.
Chelmsford were outstanding and I was particularly pleased to see the "Vehicle Quality Operative Team" and Phil Sage both win an award which were Highly Commended and then the icing on the cake was Paul Ashman winning "Driver of the Year" a well deserved award! Next year the event will be bigger and better and I'm sure in Essex we will again contribute strongly.
