Our winner of 'Site Colleague of the Year' was Head Pastry Chef, Margo Kujawa. Margo was described by our judges as an inspiration to all who work alongside her and they were inundated with examples of Margo’s impact within the business and particularly by the managing partner of their client. Margo is an asset both to the business and her site with her reach now expanding to supporting acquiring new business alongside the sales team.
