CONGRATULATIONS to Silvertone Leasing’s Amber Thorpe who has won the Special Recognition prize at the inaugural NNBN Awards, held at the Kettering Park Hotel (06 October 2023).
Amber, an apprentice with Silverstone, was described as “one to watch” in her industry.
The NNBN Awards are dedicated to celebrating inspiring individuals, innovative businesses and committed charities across Northamptonshire where the Silverstone brokerage is based.
Amber, who joined the customer care team at Silverstone Leasing just a year ago, has quickly slotted into the culture of the company and stepped up when her colleague went on maternity leave.
She undertook a thorough handover and now carries out additional work alongside her own on a day-to-day basis.
In August, Amber was promoted to leasing sales executive for Embrace Leasing, the personal leasing brand of the business.
In addition to her workload, Amber is also still completing course work and exams on the apprenticeship scheme with apprenticeship and training recruiter Starting Off.
Where many apprentices are inexperienced and unsure, Amber is keen to learn and takes information on board quickly. She is efficient and effective in her role, responds well to constructive criticism and always strives for better.
Amber has self-confidence and an understanding way with customers that will undoubtedly see her succeed in her career. Both her attitude and aptitude are excellent and she is versatile and confident without being arrogant.
