SHINING STARS WINNER FOR FEBRUARY 2010 ANNOUNCED

2nd March 2010 - This month's winner is Melanie James, Communications Executive for Prime Focus.

Derek Moore, Creative Director at Prime Focus explains "It is hard to pick one particular time where Mel has gone above the call of duty because in all honesty she does it many times a day. This week we had a major presentation on which required us to produce a lot of promotional material. Mel dived in, grabbing the task by both horns and project managing it through to a highly successful conclusion. This required her to liaise with our colleagues in North America and India, our London design team and the printers, staying late into the evening throughout the week to ensure everything was ready." Derek goes on to say "During this, Mel continued to deal with other requests, ensuring everyone got what they needed. Without her we would be lost, and she never gets (or claims) the credit for her successes."

Mel demonstrates consistent commitment to her role and the judges were impressed with her 'can do' attitude and enthusiasm. Mel not only came up trumps on providing the material for this particular presentation, but clearly goes to great lengths to provide support for her colleagues without fail. A true Shining Star.

Shining Stars, is an exciting recognition scheme sponsored by Allan Chapman & James Insurance Brokers and is designed to help motivate and reward non-creative employees within UK Screen member companies, who often fulfil invaluable but unsung roles. Companies simply nominate a member of staff whose performance has been over and above the call of duty, each month a new Shining Star is chosen, and, in December, all winners will celebrate in style at a 'Winner's Dinner'.
