Standing out from the crowd were Jason Threadgold Funeral Directors with judges noting their complete transformation both professionally and personally. For Company Director, Nichola Threadgold, “Taking home this award honestly means everything to us. We’ve been working with our Action Coach John McHale for nearly five years now and without ActionCOACH, we wouldn’t be where we are today!
“We’ve always believed in investing in ourselves and growing as a team – and it’s really paid off. Our team of 25 is just incredible and we’re so proud of what we’ve achieved together! We’ll definitely be having a big celebration when we get back – they deserve all the credit – this award is for them!”

We hope, next year, many of this year’s delegates will be inspired to enter the awards to showcase their accomplishments,” added Julie.
