CHESTER recruitment agency Brighter Choices has introduced a Temp of the Year Award to recognise the hard work, commitment and enthusiasm of its temporary workers.

The first winner, Linda Head, will enjoy her prize of a luxury pampering day at a beauty salon, knowing that her shift on reception will be covered by Louise Wilson, commercial director at Brighter Choices.

“Linda can relax and enjoy her treatments as I fill her shoes on reception,” said Louise. “It’s been many years since I’ve operated a switchboard. However, I’ll do my very best to work to Linda’s high standards.”

Linda has been temping on reception at Hawker Beechcraft Ltd during 2009.

“Our client has described Linda as ‘thorough, reliable and efficient with a fantastic can-do attitude’,” said Louise.

“Temporary workers are extremely beneficial to a business and during uncertain times are an ideal solution for organisations needing periodic assistance. Linda demonstrates the huge benefit that temporary workers can offer businesses and this award is a great way of recognising all the great work they do.”
