‘Innovative and flexible’ Andy wins Southern Vectis’s top award

Isle of Wight bus engineer, Andy Furber, is celebrating this week - after being named employee of the year 2023 by Southern Vectis.

Praised for his innovation and problem solving abilities, Andy was presented with his award by managing director, Andrew Wickham. 

“It seems Andy can solve any problem that arises - always making himself available to less experienced colleagues,” said Andrew. “He is an excellent engineer who always thinks outside of the box, and he finds solutions to the more challenging issues.

“His fault-finding skills are second-to-none, and his work ethic is awe-inspiring. Given his flexibility and approach to his role, it is no surprise to me that he has been chosen for the accolade of Southern Vectis Employee of the Year. 

“Not only that but Andy has also placed second overall amongst all our sister companies across the south coast. I’d like to congratulate him and wish him a successful year ahead.”

In recognition of his efforts, Andy received £2,500 worth of vouchers and a trophy.
