Grimes, who is based in the Bartlett Mitchell support office, was named as winner of the Founders’ award for her work in ensuring the company is kept safe and compliant.
By using the company’s ‘reduce, recycle and reuse’ strategy, Grimes was also commended for ensuring Bartlett Mitchell’s health, safety and environmental standards continue to ‘be the most recognised in the sector’.
Wendy Bartlett, founder and executive chairman of Bartlett Mitchell, said: “We are pleased to celebrate yet another year of exciting growth – all made possible by the efforts of our brilliant team members.
“Our values have been important to us since the day we first launched the company. Whether it’s management, support functions, or frontline team members, they drive everything that we do. I’m proud of every member of the BM family and know that, whilst we have recognised all the brilliant people via these awards, there are hundreds more who are doing so much to make our clients and customers lives that little bit better every day.”
Grimes has been responsible for Bartlett Mitchell achieving many accolades from ISO 14001: environmental management, SRA 3 stars, and accreditations related to people, sustainability and ethical performance.
Grimes was joined by over 30 other winners at the ceremony, recognising team members from across the UK who have ‘excelled’ in their roles.
