The Pioneering Care Partnership’s very own Becky Gustard has been crowned the Community Employee of the Year at The Investors in People Awards 2019!! This Award aims to recognise someone who isn’t necessarily in a senior position but works just as hard as any leader, inspiring colleagues to be the very best they can be on a daily basis and rewards a person who is truly valued by those they work with.

Becky was thrilled to be nominated, elated to become a finalist and overwhelmed to be the overall WINNER!

Carol Gaskarth, PCP Chief Executive, explained, “Not only is Becky PCP’s longest serving employee, she is highly regarded by everyone she works with. I had absolutely no hesitation in nominating Becky for the sheer breadth of her passion, enthusiasm and her willingness to help others which, along with her PCP career journey, is truly remarkable. Whilst her role is mainly back-office Becky loves to see the difference that PCP makes in communities. She always attends the AGM and truly values the work we all do. Becky is motivated by PCP’s mission and often moved to tears with the stories of personal success and the journey of our clients. Caring, compassionate, supportive and friendly are words I would use to sum up Becky. Becky has made a huge contribution to the organisation and importantly the people we help….Becky you’ve always been a winner in my eyes and now you are a winner on the global stage!! How brilliant, well done!!”

Becky being crowned the winner in the Community Employee of Year category of The Investors in People Awards 2019 is a fantastic achievement and something everyone at PCP is really proud of. Becky had a fantastic time at the Awards ceremony in London and has been astounded by the kind words, cards and gifts from friends upon her return work. We look forward to continuing the celebrations in the North East!
