Long Service Awards - June 2019
35 colleagues attended last month’s long service awards in Elgin. Their service, combined with others who sadly couldn’t be there in person to accept their certificate, adds up to a total of 1,440 years of public service. Congrats to all of you, and thank you for your years of hard work!
Councillor Graham Leadbitter, Council Leader, said: "Our Long Service Awards recognise the efforts and dedication of our staff in delivering the over 150 services that the Council is responsible for to the over 96k people living in our region... Sometimes it might not feel like it but I know, speaking to people right across Moray, that they value the work of council staff across all departments... We have staff doing excellent work in the first place and, on occasions when something isn’t quite right, our staff are making every effort to address those issues at the earliest opportunity. That reflects really well on you, the Council staff, and on the Council as a whole. Every member of staff I speak to cares about their job, cares about their community and cares about Moray as a whole and that is, in a nutshell, what work in public services is about."
