Staff with more than 7,538 years collective service are honoured at City Building’s long service awards.
Leading Scottish construction company City Building honoured its hard working staff recently by recognising employees with more than 30 years’ service with the company as part of its second long service awards this year.
This marks the second long service awards held by the company to recognise 178 of its employees with over 30 years’ service. The awards, which took place at the City Chambers in Glasgow, were an opportunity to recognise the company’s dedicated staff, some of whom have spent their entire careers contributing to its stellar reputation for quality and customer service.
Alex Grassam from Millerston is the manager for the west of the city for City Building. He began working for the Direct Works Department of Glasgow City Council in 1973, which became City Building in 2007. He was initially employed as an apprentice electrician and through years of dedication to his work he has progressed through the ranks to management.
Alex said: “I was delighted to be recognised for my 41 years’ service with the company. It’s a great event and it really boosts everyone’s morale to know that our contribution to the company has been recognised.
“I’ve really enjoyed my years working for City Building – it’s a great company to work for. I’ve been given great opportunities to further my career in the years that I have been here working my way from apprentice right through to area manager and I’m very proud of that.
Councillor Paul Carey, Chair at City Building, said: “City Building’s good reputation for quality work on projects throughout Glasgow is thanks to the hard work of its staff.
“They are our ambassadors and that is why we wanted to reward the 178 employees who have worked with us for over 30 years – our success is in large part down to their high work standards and professionalism.”
City Building hopes to hold more awards like this in future to recognise the hard work and dedication displayed by its 2,200 skilled employees.
