Award Winner, April 2025
This month we would like to nominate Paul Smith (Aftersales Manager) and Michael Flint (Technician) for the “Making it special award”.
When a colleague arrived at work and was visibly unwell, Paul and Michael sprang into action immediately to help. Whilst remaining calm and showcasing commendable teamwork, Paul called for the First Aider and helped monitor his colleague, whilst Michael collected the defib and phoned for an ambulance. The ambulance arrived within 30 minutes and quickly confirmed that their colleague had sadly had three heart attacks and they needed to take him to hospital immediately.
Once their colleague was in the ambulance, Paul called his partner to make her aware of the situation, whilst maintaining compassion and care.
Without the quick thinking and incredible teamwork from Paul and Michael, the outcome for their colleague would have been much more critical. They saved his life and for this, their colleague and his partner are extremely grateful and thankful that Paul and Michael were there that day to help reassure him and be a shoulder to lean on when he needed the extra support.
Paul and Michael are a credit to the business and their compassion and immediate instinct to help their colleague has not gone unnoticed by everyone here at JLR Huddersfield and our colleagues family.
