We are also pleased to announce the expansion of our HR department with the promotion of Danielle Boucher. Danielle previously worked on reception. Having shown a keen interest in developing her skills and learning a new discipline, it was an easy decision to appoint her as an HR Assistant to our Consultant, Fiona Sinclair. Danielle is currently undertaking her CIPD course at Cardiff and Vale College, which she is due to complete in May 2015.
In May this year we were pleased to welcome Ashley Coleman as our new receptionist. He came to us on a placement via ACT Training, where he was part of their Pre-Apprenticeship Academy. He was nominated by ACT for the National Training Federation Wales Apprenticeship Awards Cymru 2014, in recognition of the quality of his work there as well as here at Darwin Gray. The prestigious ceremony was held at the Celtic Manor on 31st October, with Ashley named Traineeship Learner of the Year which is a fantastic achievement – congratulations Ashley!
