Littleton Coin Company honors employees at annual Awards Ceremony
LITTLETON – Littleton Coin Company honored 40 employees for quality, service, and ingenuity at the company’s annual awards ceremony. The highlight of the event came when Chief Operating Officer Mike Morelli announced the two recipients of The 2008 Maynard Sundman Quality Achievement Awards. Chris Cruger of the Information Technology Department received the Quality Employee of the Year award, and Dot Bean of the Sales Team received the Distinguished Achievement award.
“Selecting the award recipients from so many highly qualified people is always difficult,” stated Morelli. “However, Chris and Dot have done outstanding jobs in their pursuit of quality.”
Chris Cruger received his award for his tireless efforts in managing our information network, improving its performance, and for his leadership, vision and commitment to provide quality service to our employees and customers. Chris has been with LCC for 10 years.
Dot Bean was recognized for the exceptional service she provides to her customers, for her attentiveness and efficiency, and for being a dedicated team player at LCC. Dot has been with the company for 11 years.
In addition to framed certificates, each of them received a monetary award and a designated parking space.
Personnel Director Milt Bratz also recognized Mary Pelletier of the Customer Service Department with the Outstanding Employee Suggestion of the Year award. Pelletier’s suggestion was to improve the visibility of 1st selection coins sent with ad product with the goal to reduce lost coins. Once the changes were implemented, losses began to drop and on an annual basis are estimated to be reduced by 25%.
