Recognise Your Team’s Dedication – Nominate for the Unsung Hero Award at the ATF Professional Vehicle Recycling Awards 2024

As the date for the ATF Professional Vehicle Recycling Awards 2024 approaches on November 28th, it’s an opportune moment for business owners in the auto recycling sector to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of their staff. The Unsung Hero Award is a unique accolade designed to shine a light on those individuals who consistently go above and beyond but may only sometimes receive the recognition they deserve.

 

Recognise Your Team's Dedication - Nominate for the Unsung Hero Award at the ATF Professional Vehicle Recycling Awards 2024 soc

Presented directly by ATF Professional, this special award celebrates the commitment and achievements of individuals within the UK vehicle recycling industry. It’s a chance for employers to highlight team members who play pivotal roles in their organisations—those who contribute significantly to daily operations, customer satisfaction, and the business’s overall success.

Please put forward your nominations by the 20th of October!

Why Nominate?

Recognising your staff through the Unsung Hero Award not only honours their hard work but also boosts morale and reinforces a positive workplace culture. It demonstrates to your team that you value their contributions and are willing to celebrate their successes publicly.

Consider nominating employees who:

  • Have a Long Service History: Those who have dedicated many years to your company, showing unwavering loyalty and commitment.
  • Provide Excellent Customer Service: Individuals who consistently receive positive feedback and foster strong client relationships.
  • Exhibit Exemplary Work and Initiative: Team members who innovate, solve problems efficiently, or improve workplace processes.
  • Achieve Remarkable Feats Outside of Work: Staff involved in fundraising, charity work, or volunteering, showcasing their dedication to the broader community.
A Personal Touch in Recognition

Unlike the other 13 award categories judged by independent panels, the Unsung Hero Award is selected by the owners of the ARW GROUP LTD, the producers of ATF Professional. This personal approach ensures that the award resonates deeply within the industry, recognising individuals who might otherwise be overlooked.

There’s no cumbersome entry form to complete. To nominate someone, simply contact ATF Professional directly via phone or email. This streamlined process makes it easy for you to honour your staff without taking valuable time away from your business operations.

Haydn Davies, the editor of ATF Professional, emphasises the importance of this award:

“There are truly deserving and committed individuals in our industry who perform outstanding work or achieve remarkable milestones without receiving the recognition they merit. This award is a fantastic way for employers to express their gratitude. Presenting the Unsung Hero Award is one of my favourite moments during our awards events because it’s always a genuine surprise for the recipient. They often have no idea until their name is announced, which makes the recognition even more special. It highlights the significant role that every individual plays in the vehicle recycling sector, regardless of their position.”

The Impact of Recognition

By nominating someone from your team, you’re not just acknowledging their efforts—you’re inspiring continued excellence and setting a standard within your organisation. Recognition can lead to increased employee satisfaction, retention, and motivation, all of which contribute positively to your business’s success.

Take Action Now

The deadline is fast approaching. Now is the time to reflect on your team’s contributions and consider who among them embodies the spirit of the Unsung Hero. Perhaps it’s someone who has been with you through thick and thin, an employee who always greets challenges with a positive attitude or a team member whose behind-the-scenes work keeps everything running smoothly.

How to Nominate

To nominate an unsung hero from your organisation:

  1. Contact ATF Professional: Reach out via phone or email to submit your nomination.
  2. Provide Details: Share why you believe your nominee deserves the award. Include examples of their contributions and impact and a photo.
  3. Celebrate Their Achievements: Join us at the awards ceremony on November 28th to honour all the nominees and celebrate the industry’s collective success.
Final Thoughts

The vehicle recycling industry thrives because of the hard work and dedication of individuals who often operate behind the scenes.
