AbbeyAutoline staff were delighted to be recognised within the Group’s Richard Livingston Awards 2023 which took place on Thursday 9th March in the President’s Lounge at Ulster Rugby’s Kingspan Stadium.
The Richard Livingston Awards launched in 2022 and will continue as an annual award celebration for the Prestige Insurance Holding’s Group. The awards are in memory Richard Livingston, who was a treasured colleague and friend and celebrated employees across the Group who have progressed to enhance their Excellence in Professional Development and / or knowledge and leadership in the workplace.
The award applications opened in January inviting employees to apply or nominate a colleague they believe are deserving of the award. There was a fantastic response with 10 applications/nominations being shortlisted for this prestigious award.
The panel was really impressed by the standard of each application and were delighted to welcome all shortlisted candidates to a special recognition lunch award ceremony hosted by Trevor Shaw, Group CEO.
Richard Livingston’s wife Sarah kindly provided the following words of gratitude which was shared at the ceremony, ‘Richard was a strong advocate of lifelong learning, whether it be academic, vocational or for general interest and that he would be so proud that he is remembered in such a way’.
The winner of the Richard Livingston 2023 winner is James O’Hara, Senior Manager, AbbeyAutoline! James was presented with his award by 2022’s winner, Carl McComb and Trevor Shaw.
The judges selected James as the overall winner as he is currently undertaking advanced studies and is highly regarded as a role model and mentor in the development of staff across his team and the wider business.
He has also demonstrated his commitment to professional development through his role in the Academy, and his determination to use his studies to improve the business as well as customer experience.
We would like to congratulate James on this achievement and would also like to congratulate all the shortlisted applicants / nominees, as it was evident from the applications received, their passion for continuing professional development, the importance to them individually as well as to the business and each of the nominees are also regarded as role models within their teams and business areas.
This is a fitting tribute to Richard and his legacy and is also a fantastic way to recognise the outstanding individual achievements and positive impact that continuing professional educational development can have for staff and the business.
The award ceremony was a wonderful event to celebrate all shortlisted nominees, along with their nominators and programme mentors, and celebrate their continuous hard work and dedication to their professional careers and team.
The following AbbeyAutoline staff were nominated along with colleagues from Prestige Insurance Holdings, Prestige Underwriting and Stroll:
