We will be running regular articles showcasing our fantastic team here at UTL DS LTD.
To set this off I would like to introduce our fabulous team member Lizzie. Many of you would have spoken with Lizzie as she is one of our service coordinator’s based at our office in Theydon Garnon.
Lizzie has been with the company a little over two years and recently won The Apprentice of the Year Award. Lizzie is a fantastic team player both in the office and on the court where she is part of a netball team that competes across the county. We asked Lizzie about her achievements to date:
“The ‘Apprenticeship of the Year Award’ came as a bit of a surprise, although I always knew that I worked incredibly hard during my time at Training Trust. It was so rewarding to realize that my efforts were not only recognized but also celebrated by others. It felt nice to know that I had become widely recognized for the dedication and commitment I put into my work.
In my role at UTL I really enjoy the variety and problem-solving aspects of the job. There’s also a sense of accomplishment in providing a solution that makes a real difference to a customer’s day-to-day operations. Additionally, working in a team and collaborating with colleagues to share knowledge and improve our service is something I value greatly. The ability to constantly learn and adapt to new technology in the print management industry keeps the role fresh and exciting.
I bring a strongly positive attitude, and a passion for customer service. I’m dedicated to delivering top-notch and proactive service and enjoy collaborating with colleagues to share knowledge and improve our work. Ultimately, my problem-solving skills, patience, and customer-first mindset help me shine and succeed in this role.
I started playing netball at the age of 14 at Epping Netball Club. I joined alongside my mum and older sister, making it a family activity that we can all enjoy together. We have been playing with them ever since, building strong connections both on and off the court.
Last season, we performed exceptionally well, finishing at the top end of the table. This achievement led to us moving up a division to the highest division in the league and playing against strong and competitive netball teams from all over Essex.
Winning a netball match is incredibly rewarding. There’s a sense of accomplishment that comes with knowing all the hard work, teamwork, and strategy have paid off. It’s such a fulfilling moment to see everything come together, especially after the effort put in during training and the game itself. I feel proud of not only my own performance but also of how the team works together to achieve the win. There’s also a boost of confidence and motivation for the next match, and it’s always nice to share the excitement and celebration with my teammates, knowing we achieved something together. It’s a mix of pride, happiness, and pure satisfaction”
Since going to press Lizzies team won at a match scoring 30-34 in 40 minutes. Lizzie also got player of the match, we are all really proud of you Lizzie!
