A street cleaner has won two awards for his hard work and cheerful, friendly attitude.
Lazarus Eliodore, 46, has worked for Hammersmith and Fulham Council ’s refuse contractor Serco since 2011 and scooped both divisional and global ‘community awards’ in the company’s annual Pulse Awards scheme – which recognises its employees who go above and beyond the call of duty.
He was nominated by residents in Shepherd’s Bush because of his cheerful attitude and determination to keep the streets he is responsible for clean.
After winning the divisional award, beating off competition from 119 other nominees, he was then also put forward for the global award – which recognises the endeavours of Serco’s employees across its worldwide operations – and won that too.
Lazarus, who works out of the Hammersmith Park depot, has now been given a special uniform to proudly wear with ‘Global Pulse Award Winner 2015’ emblazoned across it.
His manager said: “Our Pulse Awards recognise individuals and teams who have consistently shown they care through their commitment and support to the local communities they work in or given a lifelong commitment to a cause that has benefited others.”
