Craig Bunting, a technical advisor at Webhelp’s Derby site, has been named the Role Model of the Year at the leading global customer experience firm’s annual Star Awards.

The awards, presented at a glittering Cirque du Soleil- themed gala dinner and party in the glamorous surroundings of Edinburgh’s The Hub, were created seven years ago to recognise excellence across the business at a team and individual level.

Craig was chosen as Role Model of the Year in an operational role because of his inspirational performance over the last year.

David Turner, CEO of Webhelp UK, India and SA, said: “We chose Craig to receive the Role Model of the Year award because he leads by example and is completely committed to his role. He is knowledgeable, supportive and a great ambassador for his team.

“I am delighted to present this award to Craig and I look forward to his continued success at Webhelp.”

Craig receives a cheque for £1,000 and a trophy.
