A County Roscommon man recently picked up a Bus Éireann GEM award.
The company celebrated its employees’ achievements in 2023 at the national annual GEM (‘Go the Extra Mile’) Awards, which recognises excellent customer service, community impact, performance and forward-thinking.
Awards were issued in several different categories including Apprentice of the Year, Depot of the Year, Executive of the Year as well as Driver and Community Awards.
Trevor Finneran, from Roscommon, was named as the ‘Garage Supervisor of the Year for 2023’ at the annual awards in Dublin.
"Trevor, who has been a fantastic member of the Bus Éireann family for over 23 years, has been applauded for his work ethic and model professionalism," said the company.
Trevor, who works from Athlone, was celebrated by his colleagues as someone they could rely on, particularly in the face of adversity. He is a true team player, an essential component for working in the garage. Those who work with him daily were quick to note his easy companionship and helpful demeanour married perfectly to his care for the business.
“This is a fantastic reflection on the great work done by Trevor not only this past year but over the last two decades with Bus Éireann. Sincere congratulations, Trevor,” said the company.
