Jude Knowles, operations manager at Business Micros, was named the Unsung Hero at this year’s G-Awards, in recognition of her remarkable ability to organise, support and motivate everyone she works with.
Overseeing Business Micros’ 16 strong programming and technical support team, Jude was nominated for the award by managing director, Graeme Bailey, because she is what he describes as the ‘perfect team player’.
Jude’s team reportedly handles 1,200 increasingly complex software and IT related calls per month and, during the company’s busiest ever year in 2016 when it has broken sales records virtually every month, she is said to have remained ‘the reassuring voice of calm, approaching every new challenge with an upbeat attitude and real positivity’.
Graeme says of Jude: “She has been an integral part of Business Micros for 16 years and her enthusiasm and commitment have never wavered. The Unsung Hero award is the perfect recognition for all that she does so quietly and effectively behind the scenes without ever seeking out glory or recognition for herself.”
As well as her trophy, which now has pride of place in Business Micros’ office in Penpont, Dumfriesshire, Jude was rewarded with a prize of lunch for two at London’s Savoy restaurant.
