Two members of the Pricecheck team spent the day in London yesterday. Chris Smith, Software Technical Lead, and Abbie Sutcliffe, Business Change Executive, were invited to the House of Commons to collect their FWD Wholesale Stars awards.
These awards celebrate and reward colleagues who are investing in developing their skills through apprenticeships, training or academic study, with the support of their employer.
Here’s a little insight into our stars Chris and Abbie, whose awards are so well deserved…
Chris Smith – Software Technical Lead
After developing a keen interest in technology and software, Chris transitioned from his previous role as a Buyer to take on a new challenge in our IT department. He enrolled in a master’s degree apprenticeship at Sheffield Hallam University while still acquiring hands-on skills at Pricecheck. Chris excelled in every module of the MSc Digital and Technology Solutions course, graduating with a Distinction to prove it!
Abbie Sutcliffe – Business Change Executive
Over the past two years, Abbie has successfully completed the PRINCE2 Project Management certification scheme at both Foundation and Practitioner level. Being a registered Practitioner demonstrates Abbie’s ability to effectively run and manage projects within a working environment, and after passing with flying colours, she now helps to train and mentor other members of her team.
