I was both humbled and honoured to be acknowledged by my peers in being nominated for this award, which within itself would have been enough.
However, winning the Ruben Fried Retailer of the Year for 2024 was incredibly gratifying and I am so thankful to my colleagues across Anaconda for this recognition.
I truly just aim to be myself in every role I have and treat any job I have as my own business. This award not only acknowledged my efforts and commitments to Ruben’s Golden Rules, in which Anaconda truly empowers its team members to live by, but also reinforced my commitment to “Do whatever it takes” for excellence in my work.
It was a reminder that if you “Trust your gut”, “Thrive on chaos” and “Learn as you go”, the hard work and dedication do pay off, and for that, I am immensely thankful.
To be recognized with an award that bears Ruben Fried’s name is very special. I look forward to continuing to “Lead with Passion” for business that recognises someone who felt they were just doing their job
