» WINDOW WARE ’ S long-serving Credit Control Manager Sharon Fowler was named joint winner of the G21 Unsung Hero Award . She shares the prestigious award with Colin Russell from VBH UK Ltd
The award confirms what her colleagues at the leading hardware provider have known all along ; that Sharon ’ s many accomplishments and positive attitude over the last year , despite gruelling treatment for cancer and difficult personal circumstances , have been nothing short of heroic .
Even though she was undergoing chemotherapy and shielding at home , Sharon single-handedly maintained accounting functions for the business remotely during Lockdown 1.0 while the rest of the team was furloughed . Fast
|
forward three months or so , and she was instrumental in inducting colleagues back into the department once restrictions had lifted .
Over the year , she championed remote working technologies and adopted new approaches to provide a more personalised level of support to customers to take into account their varying financial situations and operational status in the wake of the pandemic .
|
She has consistently led the accounts team to success , achieving record breaking performance that has cut old debt , brought debtor days to their lowest level since June 2015 and smashed cash collection targets .
MD Sam Nuckey said , “ Words cannot express how truly proud we are of Sharon . Her determination to beat cancer and her selfless dedication to the business has made a
|
real difference to Window Ware and our customers , as well the multiple charities she supports . I ’ m delighted all the judges agreed that Sharon deserved to take the title of Unsung Hero , along with fellow finalist Colin – both worthy winners and an inspiration to us all .”
Martin Wardhaugh , Group Chief Executive agreed , “ Sharon is the very definition of an unsung hero and a really important part of Window Ware ’ s continued success . I feel honoured just to be nominated for this year ’ s Unsung Hero award , let alone actually win ! I know I could not have achieved everything I have without the support and understanding of my colleagues , so a big thank you to everyone at Window Ware .”
