Investing to engage employees

Katrina Shreffler has joined May Gurney in the newly created position of Internal Communications Manager. Katrina took up post on 23 July and is based at Head Office in Norwich.

Her responsibilities include developing an internal communications strategy and managing existing communication tools including the employee newsletter, May Gurney News, and the company Intranet.

After graduating from Nottingham Trent University Katrina started her career as a broadcast journalist.

"The company's mission and vision represent an enormous opportunity for employees to have ownership in its success, and to take its reputation and performance to new levels.

"I'm very passionate about internal communications and impressed that the company is investing in engaging employees to make the company a great place to work."
