Employee of the month, August 2013: Sumitra

It’s a familiar face for August’s employee of the month certificate!  Sumitra was previously given the award for May this year, and you can read more about her background and beginnings with jacobs well in our blog post from that time.

Every member of our team is equally eligible for this monthly certificate and we look forward to celebrating and encouraging everyone in their time.  But while there was a lot of hard work completed all around this month, it was impossible not to recognise Sumi’s awesome achievements once again.

With our master tailor Ayub leaving for a new job in the Gulf, he has been giving Sumitra intensive training to take over his work in creating samples and tackling the most complex stitching jobs.  Sumitra has risen to the challenge fantastically!  She has already been stitching a delicate couture item for one of our long-term clients and it is great to see her confidence grow in leaps and bounds alongside her achievements.  Our goal here at jacobs well is not just to offer a job, but to provide an environment where staff members continue to learn new skills and really develop their passions and interests.  Sumi is so valuable to us and we are excited to see her thrive.

Congratulations Sumitra!
