Nov. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Paul Crowe has been named as 2011 UK Worker of the Year Runner Up in the nationwide competition organised by leading workwear manufacturer, Dickies to recognise and reward excellence in the British workforce.

In a gala awards finale, at Marlow’s Crowne Plaza hotel, the Shropshire Chef, who is Head Chef at Shrewsbury Town FC was given the award and a prize package that includes his choice of holiday up to the value of £2000.

“The whole thing is absolutely unbelievable,” commented Paul. “Every single one of the other people who has made it into the final is fantastic. I didn’t even think I would make it into the last six, so to actually receive the Runner Up award is so unexpected, I can’t explain how great it feels.”

Charity Support Worker from Buxton, Anna Simpson took the title of UK Worker of the Year and North West England Lollipop Lady of the Year, Emily Jones was third. Highly commended were Newport electrician, Sam Gibbon, Jason Lawrence – an AV sales manager from Abingdon and Liverpool teacher, Jen Whelan.

“Choosing a winner from the six finalists we had was an enjoyable, but really hard task,” enthuses Maurice Morton, European Sales and Marketing Director for the world-renowned workwear firm. “The standard of entries was notably higher this year than last and each of our finalists immensely impressed me.”

UK Worker of the Year is now in its second year of looking to recognise, reward and promote excellence in the British workforce and the word has spread wider than ever before about both the competition.

“Dickies has come up with a fantastic initiative in these hard times – just the sort of positive thrust we need to help get us out of an economic recession,” comments Chairman of Judges, TV Presenter and Consumer Motoring Champion, Quentin Willson. “The competition this year was even more intense than in 2010, which reflects the fact that word about UK Worker of the Year continues to spread wider.”

Much to the TV Presenter’s delight, Paul gave him some specially made chocolates decorated with the crest of the Shrewsbury Town Football Club.

UK’s 2010 Worker of the Year, John Stone comments: “Paul really made a big impression on us all because of his attitude. He’s a great guy and came incredibly close to winning it.”
