I would like to Nominate my boss Stella Lawson for an award.
Stella Lawson stepped into the Managers role which meant directing and planning multiple teams, allocating many traffic teams to many different areas and u can promise you thats no easy task.
Our boss Stella Lawson worked very very long hours, tending to all the workers requests, complaints, issues, appointments, juggling lists that changed because of sickness , family matters , unhappy staff, staff needing early finishes for family occassions.
My boss never failed any of her staff on the road because it is and always will be a strong motive within the company( Family first)
I have to say that in my 18 years in traffic Management I have not seen such commitment, support and passion in a company or manager as I have with Stella Lawson.
And the great part was that she had no experience in the industry when i first met Stella.
But my oh my theres nothing this beautiful soul wouldnt do !
Stella not only managed the crews, the work , the contractors attend meetings, greet the staff Every morning as well as attend emergencies at night because the staff were tired or resting!
Stella woud go to the crews attending emergency callouts buy hot meals , drinks, and take it to her crews out on the roads.
Ive never seen that happen before.
Stella always wanted to make sure her crews were ok and safe out there on the roads.
But more than that Stella Lawson was there for her staff on a personal level as well 100 percent.
One such account was during the cyclone where my car got ruined in the floods.
Stella instantly offered her personal car to me without hesitation.
Every time i experienced personal problems at homey boss Stella again no matter what time of the night it was ALWAYS offered to come and collect me offering a warm bed shelter and someone to talk to.
Stella Lawson is a very caring , compassionate and supportive Boss, Manager and also part of a very loving family that own and run East Coast Traffic and what a beautiful motto they carry on thier vehicles.
( Our family serving your family)
Because thats exactly what thos company and this beautiful woman does and continues to do.
Even though i have stepped back from roading after years of commitment I just felt i never acknowledged this beautiful woman who endlessly supports and appreciates the staff at ECT.
And the continuous support and confidence she gave me.
Stella Lawson you are an amazing boss, friend and inspiration and a woman i have come to appreciate and respect .
Thank you Stella Lawson for everything you have done for me , my life and my family.
You deserve to be honoured and appreciated .
