Luminus Group, one of the region’s most successful companies and the UK’s No.1 for leadership, work life balance and strong moral principles, has publicly recognised excellence among its staff at a ceremony for all employees.

Assisting disabled tenants, helping families whose houses have burnt down, providing excellent repairs and giving much needed support and advice to tenants and staff are just part of the day to day work of staff at Luminus. Working hard behind the scenes they ensure that the customers they serve are treated with the highest quality of care.

At the ceremony attended by staff, residents, board members and numerous guests, Group Chief Executive Chan Abraham recognised these unsung heroes with Awards for Excellence in the categories of ‘Great Attitude’, ‘Clear Focus’, ‘Commitment and Perseverance’, ‘Best Kept Vehicle’ and ‘Yes We Can!’.

These employees have gone the extra mile in 2010, proving that they can consistently provide exceptional customer service, outstanding support for their teams and uphold Luminus’ high standards.

The award for ‘Great Attitude’ went to employees who consistently demonstrated a positive and enthusiastic approach; ‘Clear Focus’ for consistently

reaching high standards and never deviating from their

goals and ‘Commitment and Perseverance’ for

showing tenacity, determination and patience.

Mr Abraham said,

“At Luminus we focus on each day being a

new opportunity, and each employee as an

individual with wonderful potential. The result is

that our staff know we believe that they can do extraordinary things in their everyday work. I am confident that all our staff will continue working enthusiastically to make a positive impact in the communities we serve.”

On Blue Monday, the day billed as the most depressing Monday of the year, Luminus has turned the tables and celebrated Glorious Monday with gifts and singing.

During their lunch break every employee received a slice of cake and a cracker with the label ‘Seize the Day’ to encourage them to ‘have a cracking day.’ Teams gathered to pull their crackers and sing Auld Lang Syne creating a sense of everyone working together to help bring great service to others.

Luminus Group Chief Executive, Chan Abraham said,

“At Luminus we had already started 2011, our Year of Rescuing Dreams and Reviving Aspirations with a great sense of commitment to our customers and communities.

On this occasion we wanted to encourage our to continue being positive and optimistic even when ‘experts’ seem to be telling the British public to be miserable. We all have the power to change the world where we are for the better and Glorious Monday reminds us to seize every day.

Times are tough for everyone and will get more difficult but we will do our best to help and support others by maintaining a positive outlook and seeking to give the very best in service that we can.”

Luminus beats the blues with Glorious Monday!

120 Luminus employees, residents, family and friends came to Brook House for a special charity concert in aid of Cancer Research UK, raising over £800.

Beth Abraham and Jacob Attwooll, otherwise known as ‘ME’, wowed the audience with a 45 minute set of acoustic pop songs performed with their own unique style.

With a repertoire spanning across decades and genres, there was something for everyone and all the guests agreed that the concert was most entertaining and successful.

Attendees also enjoyed wine, fruit punch, nibbles and a raffle of 15 fantastic prizes including three bottles of Moët & Chandon champagne.

Luminus Group Chief Executive, Chan Abraham said,

“It is great to see that people are embracing the fact that they have the power to change the world for the better.

I am delighted that so many of our employees, residents and friends attended this wonderful concert and in the process raised a fantastic amount of money. This concert was the perfect way to start 2011, our Year of Rescuing Dreams and Reviving Aspirations.”
