Alex Seaward, Transport Manager at Fire Glass Midlands is Employee of the Month for March.

Alex started as a driver for Fire Glass Midlands in July last year and has soon progressed to Transport Manager. Alex is a polite and willing member of the team and has always shown great attention to detail in everything he does. He joined Fire Glass UK with previous experience in Transport Management, so he was the obvious choice for the role when it became available.

Alex had two nominations for Employee of the Month (EOTM), which came from Barry Lechat and Lisa Hawkes, both from SHEQ.

Barry and Lisa both said Alex had shown great enthusiasm in his new role by using his initiative and looking at ways to improve the Transport Department. He has submitted many new ideas, including a revised accident record document to be put into each van. These new record cards incorporate a tear-away section with the company’s details which is handed to the third party. This is being implemented at the moment through the Marketing Department.

Alex also takes a serious approach to the Health & Safety of the drivers by making sure they are not sent out delivering until he is confident that they are competent with all parts of their role. 

Alex has taken over the adding and deleting of vehicle insurance inline with the motor insurance policy, whilst doing so has been copying all the relevant people in the emails to ensure everyone involved the status of the vehicles – a job that was initially complete by Barry, which has now freed his time to concentrate on Health & Safety and kept all delivery vehicle updates within the Transport department.

Alex said, “I was totally surprised to learn I had been nominated and won Employee of the Month. I am enjoying my new role as Transport Manager, having had previous experience from my former job. My days at Fire Glass are varied, and I am enjoying learning how Fire Glass UK operates as a business.”
