Shining Star Awards

Celebrating our stars that shine brightest.

Welcome to our Shining Star Awards page. Created to complement our group-wide Shining Stars recognition scheme, which celebrates our colleagues who reach for the stars. At Churchill Group, we believe that exceptional work deserves to be celebrated. That’s why we created the Shining Star Awards, a recognition programme dedicated to shining a spotlight on the passion, dedication, and commitment our colleagues demonstrate every day.

The Shining Star Awards celebrate the incredible people who embody our core values and consistently go above and beyond. Whether it’s delivering outstanding service, driving innovation, or supporting their teams, these colleagues make a real difference to our business and communities.

Monthly awards

Each month, individuals who demonstrate our values in action are nominated and honoured as Shining Stars. This ongoing celebration of everyday excellence ensures that contributions big and small receive the appreciation they deserve.

The programme applies to all regions within our cleaning business, as well as our transport and Make Ready divisions, including Amulet, CES, Chequers, On Verve, JV Price, and shared services. We want everyone to get involved in this programme to help us identify who our Shining Stars are.

Annual awards

Once a year, we come together to celebrate some of the most inspiring stories from across Churchill Group. The ceremony is a special occasion to reflect on achievements and recognise those whose dedication has made an impact.
