Tiffany works at Chicksands military base in Bedfordshire, employed by ESS Defence, a provider of foodservice and facilities management to military establishments across the UK, and part of Compass Group UK & Ireland.
She was nominated by Michael Southerden, ESS Group Manager, in the Community category of the Be A Star programme, for her efforts when the military base flooded in 2024. She waded knee-deep through water, helping people to retrieve their belongings and relocate accommodation, she also took in a family and their pets, housing them for a week. She housed another family’s child, giving them time to organise a longer-term solution and provided child care during the day for other families in need.
Tiffany was presented with the top prize of £10,000 at a surprise ceremony at Chicksands. She said: “I absolutely did not expect this. I just did what anyone would do and supported my colleagues and the families around me. Thank you to Michael for nominating me, and to everyone I work with.”
Tiffany’s nominator, Michael Southerden, General Manager, ESS: said “Tiffany truly went above and beyond at an incredibly difficult time for the base. She is a fantastic team member and we are thrilled that her extraordinary efforts have been recognised”.
Robin Mills, Chief Executive Officer, Compass Group UK & Ireland, added: “Our people positively impact lives in the communities where they work every day. Thank you to each and every one of our frontline team members for all they do and special congratulations to our 2024 ‘Legend’ Tiffany Underwood. Her generous actions and selflessness are truly commendable. She offered anything and everything she had to support others and put their comfort above her own. She is the pride of Compass.”
