Lisa Morgan, 34, a motor vehicle lecturer from Liverpool, has been announced as one of the six finalists for UK Worker of the Year 2015.
Lisa is a lecturer at FE College in Liverpool, teaching full-time courses at levels 1 and 2. She overlooks the pastoral care of all of her students, dealing with any personal or college related issues to ensure students pass the course.
Judging day now awaits Lisa on the 16th October, where she will bid to become the sixth UK Worker of the Year winner, a competition set up by workwear company Dickies. Lisa has been asked to attend the final MCE British Superbike meeting at Brands Hatch, where she will be questioned by a panel of judges, in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style scenario.
A delighted Lisa commented: “I am ecstatic to have been selected, so many mixed emotions! I never expected to get this far and I am nervous yet excited for the next stage of the competition. I look forward to judging day and meeting the other five finalists.”
Maurice Morton, Sales and Marketing Director at Dickies said: “The standard of entries has increased and has been noticeably stronger than in previous years. We received the highest number of entries this year and Lisa and our other five finalists have been picked on merit to battle it out for this year’s prestigious title.
“It was obviously no small task to sift our way through the thousands of nominations we received but Lisa’s entry has got her to judging day and our grand finale.”
The winner of the UK Worker of the Year 2015 competition will have the luxurious choice between a Kawasaki Ninja 300 and a £5,000 holiday. This year, the winner who will be presented their prize at Brands Hatch on the 17th October, will receive a year’s free shopping at ASDA to go along with their other choice of prize.
Lisa will also be in the running to win a life-changing £100,000.00, should she predict the outcome of the top six rider positions in the weekend’s MCE British Superbike race.
Similar to last year, the other finalists represent a wide range of professions and a wide geographical spread. They are; John Walsh – a gymnastics coach and builder from Bolton; Harry Timms – a tree surgeon from Andover; Paul Middleton – a railway engineer from Saltburn by the Sea; Rebecca Rowlands – a builder from Chapel-en-le-Frith and Katie Washbourne – a homicide case worker from Birmingham.
