advo annual award winners announced The advo group hosted their annual employee awards to highlight those staff that have gone above and beyond what would be expected. It has been a tough year for all businesses and so it has been harder than ever to select the ‘best of the best’ given that all staff had risen to face the new challenges of 2020. The advo awards, called our ‘Oscars’ by staff are held at the end of each year. The categories change slightly depending on the trading conditions and particular challenges of that year. Most of the Awards are voted on by staff who select who they believe has stood out from colleagues. The Star of the Year is chosen from nominations from managers and selected by general consensus from the Management Team. Both the Advonian of the Year and Star of the Year attract a healthy ‘cash’ award. This year the nominations for STAR OF THE YEAR were spread across the whole group with Sarah Mallins from advo payroll, Bianca Le Fevre, an account Manager and Chloe Luff who works in the administration support team.
