RightShip iShine employee awards, winners announced!

Every year at RightShip we come together to celebrate members of our team who embody the RightShip Values and showcase commitment to our goals in their day-to-day work.  

The awards fall into five categories, reflecting our individual values, with the ultimate ‘iShine at RightShip Gold Award’ celebrating the person who combines everything into one complete package, reflected by the value ‘Our name.’ This will be awarded to the colleague who lives all of our values in combination and truly shines as a representative of our organisation, highlighting our name wherever they go.   

The iShine awards are open to all RightShip employees, so those with exemplary work ethics are recognised and rewarded. Employees nominate their colleagues, providing examples of their stellar work for the last 12 months. 

2022 saw a total of 175 nominations across the RightShip offices, regions and departments, and brought a small change to our usual line up of 5 winners. There were so many outstanding nominations, especially for one category. Innovation runs deep in RightShip, and we simply had too much to celebrate in that category to only have one winner. So, this year, we're recognising six colleagues rather than five. 

Read on to meet the 2022 winners.
