Quadron Services

As head gardener of Dulwich Park, Ric is very popular with all the parks users and liaises with all the various interested parties to help to make the park exactly what they all expect it to be. Over and above the usual call of duty, he stepped up of his own volition to cover the Dulwich area supervisor who was off work for four weeks recovering from an operation. During this time Ric demonstrated excellent leadership and organisational skills as well as keeping up with his own work. Pictured are Ric Glenn (centre), Andy Chatterton (right), Standard Officer for The London Borough of Southwark, and Chris Moor, Quadron Contracts Manager. Andy said "Dulwich Park has become an integral part of the local community and much thanks goes out to Ric and the whole team that work there." Ric said "it was a great honour to receive this award not just for myself but for the whole team at Dulwich Park. Chris Moor said "it is fantastic that Ric's efforts have been rewarded. Ric works to the highest professional standards and is a pleasure to work with."

Mark Imms, one of our team members working on the Ladywood Contract for Birmingham City Council, received an award of recognition from the Managing Director,Clive Ivil, in June 2009.

Quadron recognises Mark's work contribution and continued flexibility and dedication to the Company. Mark is always willing to assist wherever he can whilst constantly demonstrating his professionalism and dedication to his duties. Mark has forged excellent relationships with clients and colleagues and is a highly regarded member of the Ladywood Contract team.

Andy Court, Contract Manager for the Ladywood Contract, said, "Mark always shows great pride in his work and his duties and is always willing to pass on his knowledge to others. He is a great asset to the Contract."

Paul Joyce, one of Mark's working colleagues commented, "I am really proud of Mark for his achievement in receiving this award. I am pleased to see that Quadron have recognised Mark's commitment"

These positive qualities were echoed by Peter Short, Constituency Parks Manager for the Ladywood area of Birmingham City Council, who stated, "Ever since Mark has come to the Ladywood Contract, I have been impressed by his dedication and hard work. His attention to detail and insistence that the task is completed to the highest standard is laudable. Mark's nomination for this award is a true reflection of his commitment and hard work"

Mark responded by saying, "I am thrilled to receive the award. This is totally unexpected and I'm overwhelmed that the Company has chosen me. It is a great personal achievement as I always put in 100% effort."

Quadron Services continued in its commitment to recognise the dedication and professionalism of its staff by announcing Ana Beliak, a Park Keeper from Kensington and Chelsea, as July employee of the month.

Ana, who has been working for Quadron since May 2007, was chosen from amongst 750 employees, having been nominated for the award by Steve McKenna, Quadron's Senior Contract Manager for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Contract.

In nominating Ana, Steve said "Having only joined Quadron in late April I initially thought it would be very difficult for me to have gained sufficient knowledge of my staff to be able to nominate anyone from my team for this award but I could not have been more mistaken. I had no hesitation in nominating Ana, her effort and work ethic are second to none and in terms of her dedication, all round performance and sheer effort she is simply a model employee. Ana has a very quiet and unassuming nature and because of this her exemplary efforts and performance could easily be taken for granted. She is the kind of person who sees what needs to be done and quietly just gets on with it".

Leonie Castro, Assistant Head Gardener at Holland Park, said "I am delighted for Ana she really deserves this, she is a real team player and can always be relied upon to give 100%. The Holland Park team all love Ana as she always has a big smile on her face and is always prepared to help anyone. The standard of work Ana achieves is always so very high, particularly the Kyoto Gardens".

Ana was presented with the Employee of the Month Certificate, along with a personal letter of thanks from Clive Ivil, Managing Director, and £50 Marks and Spencer gift certificate in thanks for her commitment and dedication.

Graham Vincent, the Royal Borough's Grounds Contracts Manager said "Ana was trained to maintain the Kyoto Garden and she takes a real pride in making sure it always looks stunning; she makes a real difference in Holland Park and is very deserving of the award".

When asked how she felt about receiving the award Ana said "I am really shocked and surprised by the whole thing. I am very grateful to those who nominated me and would like to thank Quadron Services for choosing me but I think I was just doing my job".

The August award goes to Adrian in recognition of his excellent output in terms of both quantity and quality which has resulted in many compliments and a vastly improved appearance of local verges and parks.

Supervisor Dave Lucaszewski commented that Adrian is a very willing individual and a real pleasure to work with and Contract Manager John Walters praised his high outputs which led to an enhanced service this summer.

Adrian stated that it was nice that his hard work was recognised by the company and said how much he was enjoying working for Quadron.
