A local businesswoman and proud owner of swim school Puddle Ducks Lancashire, which operates in Preston, Euxton and Chorley, as well as across the county, has won a top award.
Jo Gribben won the Puddle Ducks ‘Focused on Growth’ award and was presented with the accolade at the Puddle Ducks annual conference earlier this year.
The award is testament to her hard work and dedication in running Puddle Ducks Lancashire over the last 14 years and providing award winning swimming lessons to families across the area.
In her time at the swim school, Jo has consistently ranked as the top performer in the Puddle Ducks network for customer growth, seeing her customer base grow by 236, overachieving her target by 192. This outstanding growth is what has led her to own the largest territory in the network, which covers the whole of the UK.
Commenting on Jo’s success, Puddle Ducks co-founder and managing director, Jo Stone, said: “It was an honour to present Jo with the Focused on Growth award, celebrating her ongoing commitment, as well as her success and achievements.
“Jo’s tireless efforts and visionary leadership have made a profound impact on the company and serves as an inspiring example to the wider network. Congratulations Jo.”
Jo added: “I am so thrilled to have won this award. It’s an honour to receive recognition for my commitment to Puddle Ducks and the children we teach. Growing my business means I’m able to offer our swimming lessons to more local families which is incredibly rewarding.
“This achievement is not just a personal milestone, but a reflection of the incredible support from my amazing team here at Puddle Ducks Lancashire. Thank you for all that you do.”
