Making a splash to win latest Cambridge Independent Employee Award

Nick Knights is the winner of this month's Cambridge Independent Employee Awards.

Nick, who is operations manager at Elite Swimming Academy, based at Milton Country Park, was nominated by the company and received a fruit basket from Cambridge Fruit Company, Champagne from Ann Pettengell Recruitment, chocolates from Chocolat Chocolat and Sunday lunch for four at Royal Cambridge Hotel.

Nick said: “It was a unexpected and very much appreciated. I was stepping out on the balcony overlooking the lake to see a fruit basket and bottle of Champagne. It was a great surprise.

“I was the first employee to join Elite Swimming Academy. I was brought on board to grow the business in a sustainable way, and we’ve done that so it was nice to have that recognition. There are four or five of us in the office now and they’re very hard-working so I expect there will be more awards to come!”
