It’s been a very busy week for the head office team, mystery shoppers and clients of mystery shopping and performance improvement company, Douglas Stafford.

Today (Friday) top performing team members from Douglas Stafford’s valued clients, Honda UK, are taking part in a special celebratory team-building event.

After achieving exemplary results in the company’s mystery shopping programme in 2014, lucky winners are enjoying a day sailing in the Solent as part of the ‘Honda Oscars’ celebration for performance.

Team members have been on board two yachts – including the 40ft Beneteau Lady Diane – in the Solent, where they were involved with raising and lowering the sails and racing against each other, before stopping for lunch on the Isle of Wight and sailing back to Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.

There was further delight for Honda this week as the Honda Aircraft Company announced that the HondaJet will begin a world tour in late April, with the advanced light jet making its first appearances in Japan and Europe. You can read more here.

Earlier this week, the inaugural David Williamson Award for the best performance of the quarter has taken place at the Douglas Stafford head office at Lakeside North Harbour, Portsmouth.

The award was the brainchild of Data Analyst, David Williamson, who thought a reward for an excellent performance within the company should be recognised. You can find out the winner here.

Fundraising throughout 2014/15 by team members at mystery shopping and performance improvement company, Douglas Stafford, has helped raise £1,000 for The Roberts Centre.

Douglas Stafford Chief Executive, Nigel Cook, presented a cheque to Mel Goddard from the charity, at the company’s head office at Lakeside North Harbour, Portsmouth. Read more here.
