Our third and final winner of the Q3 BiP Recognition Awards was, Asman Hussain, who won the Outstanding Performance Award. Let's hear from Asman's line manager Simon Inman: "Asman joined BiP in December and within his first week we experienced a network outage, during the incident, Asman was a beacon of calm and light. Still fresh to the business, Asman showed outstanding and unflappable support from the start and was able to hit the ground running and support to get us back online." Congratulations Azi!
Our second winner of the BiP ONE Recognition Awards for Q3 was Isobel Wright, who was the winner of our Values Award. Isobel's line manager Chris Logue had a few words to say on her success: "Izzy has really stepped up the last few months within credit control and exceeded all targets. She has done so in a professional manner and is always on hand to assist others in the team. Over the last few months, Izzy has started working from an updated system with new features and has been testing every aspect to make sure when we change over it will be done seamlessly and smoothly. This has been a big ask but Izzy has done a brilliant job. The amount of time this will save the team is invaluable and again underlines the fact Izzy always demonstrates BiP’s core values." Well done Isobel!

Mhairi's line manager Laura Aitkenhead had a few words to say... "Mhairi moved into a new role in the events team only three weeks before the start of our event season in Q2. The job and skill set are very different to her previous role, however Mhairi jumped straight in and picked up the GO Awards Scotland and Wales, showing a passion for these projects, and a commitment to making them the best events possible. She worked with stakeholders across the business to ensure all requirements were met, showing after only a short space of time, a clear understanding of the key aspects of this new role. Mhairi really stepped up to the mark and I’m delighted to have her as Co-Ordinator in the Events Team" Congratulations Mhairi!
At our BiP One Recognition Awards for Q2, we are delighted to announce that the winner of the Sales Excellence Award was Dawn MacTaggart. Lets hear from Dawn's line manager Alan McMenemy who is the Head of Sales here in Glasgow... "Dawn was nominated for this award for many reasons. First and foremost, she's hit her quarterly target, and hit target for each individual month as well. She also navigated her way around a two-week break in the middle of the quarter and managed her own pipeline effectively to allow for this. Dawn has also been an early adopter of our new BI product suite, and got the first HCI, Tracker-Pro and Contact Data sales. She's been able to do this by fully investing and immersing herself in the product. Dawn also led the line at P4H and Procurex Scotland, and delivered keynote speeches at both. Last, but not least, Dawn has been really open to coaching and adapting her style to GAP methodology over the past three months. An outstanding nomination for, and worthy winner of, our Q2 Sales Recognition Award." Well done Dawn!! Very well deserved.
