Two dedicated temps are the recipients of a monthly award from The Business Connection.
The award is to recognise the efforts and achievements of temporary employees in their placements. Laura Champion and Clare Booth received the awards from Managing Director Kirsty Craig.
Laura, who is returning to Liverpool University to study for her third year of a degree in marketing, was placed into GMUVS on the Chester Business Park at the beginning of July. This is the second year Laura has used The Business Connection. Laura is working as an administrator to pay off her student overdraft and has saved enough money to go on holiday for a week in Tunisia.

Clare was referred to The Business Connection by a friend and was placed into a full-time contract as an administrator in the marketing department of The Bank of America in July. The contract runs to January 2008 and thanks to Clare's hard work and positive attitude there is the possibility of extending it. Clare, who grew up in Dubai, is interested in a possible career in the project management side of marketing.
Kirsty Craig said:
''Clare and Laura are fantastic examples of two temps who put their heart and soul into their work and are rightly being rewarded for it. The Business Connection award for temps celebrates outstanding achievement and is a regular monthly feature.'
Laura Champion, 22, of Rowton, studied at Christleton High School, Chester said:
'I can't fault The Business Connection, who make it really easy for me to get to work. They offer a very good service are are friendly. The Business Connection likes to keep up-to-date and phone every couple of weeks, so they know if you are available for work and they text or ring you when there is work on offer. The assignment was only supposed to be for a couple of weeks, but I enjoyed it so much I was given an open contract. Companies I've worked for through The Business Connection have really great, with very nice people. GMUVS has been a fantastic place to work.'
Clare Booth, 23, of Great Boughton, graduated with a 2:1 degree in Politics at Nottingham University in July, after attending Bishops' Blue Coat High School in Chester. Clare said:
'I am really impressed by The Business Connection. I have heard some horror stories about agencies, but The Business Connection is really efficient. I went for a detailed interview with Franki who is lovely and really approachable and would always get back to me with available positions. I had a choice of jobs offered to me. I really wanted to work on the Business Park and The Business Connection has totally fulfilled their brief. The Business Connection is the only agency I went with, which took three weeks from me phoning up to starting the job I wanted.'
Clare and Laura received a corporate gift and a bottle of wine.
