The Young Employee of the Year Award 2011
The Young Employee of the Year Award is a competition for employees recommended by their employers to be considered be known as Young Employee of the Year 2011 and is aimed at young people between the ages of 16 and 25 working in Tynedale.
The competition was established in 2000 and is organised by the Rotary Club of Hexham. As in previous years, this year’s awards are also supported by Hexham Town Council and the Hexham Business Forum.
It is designed to encourage young people in Tynedale to develop their skills and gain valuable work experience. We also aim to help them realise their important contribution to their employer and the successful development of our area.
The late Jack Charlton, The Rotary Club of Hexham’s longest serving member at the time and a great champion of young people, was closely involved in the development of the competition and, in 2005, he presented a trophy and allowed an award to be named after him. Hexham Town Council makes an additional annual award known as the Hexham Town Council Employee of the Year Award. Hexham Business Forum provide support, publicity and administrative facilities.
The winner of the Rotary award will receive the Jack Charlton Trophy inscribed with their name and a cheque for £500. The winner of the Hexham Town Council award will receive a cheque for £250 and a trophy donated by Councillor J B Jonas, previous Mayor of the Town. In addition both finalists will receive a certificate to commemorate their success.
