February saw the 19th annual AM Online Awards for excellence. The awards recognised achievement across the automotive industry - from dealers, manufacturer and industry suppliers. We are only too happy to join in the chorus of congratulations to our clients who stole the show:
We recognise that this is an incredible achievement and believe these awards were deserved by the most respectable dealerships in the industry.
We’ve continued to develop our involvement with Kent County Council’s Kent Works programme that aims to get schools working with commercial enterprises in a bid to bridge the gap between them.
It’s a long-term strategy of ours to not only do something positive for someone but also get these younger people into placement and hopefully end up employing them. Rather than have doing menial tasks we want to get them involved in client projects, sit in on meetings and get involved with genuine commercial work.
We sent a number of the GForces team round to various schools in Kent throughout the year and help students of all ages learn business orientated skills.
We do this voluntary service to offer opportunities for students to gain experience in a real professional environment. Students find social media second nature today and GForces want to show this tech-aware generation that something they love can be built into a career.
Smooth and efficient client delivery is the key to success, and to keep our well oiled machine running smoothly we are proud to welcome a handful of new starters to the GForces fold who bring new skills, abilities and ideas to our business and yours.
We also congratulate Victoria O’Connell who moved from office administrator over to Tiger commerce support administrator and Jennifer Woodward who left client marketing to become our new marketing communications executive.
All of our hard working professionals add that extra special spark to the GForces magic and we wish them every success.
