EIGHTY FOUR, Pa. (Jan. 08, 2025) – 84 Lumber has recognized its two 2024 End-of-Year Team Headquarters winners. The company launched the award program in 2022 to recognize associates twice a year in two categories: the Business Excellence Award and the Rising Star Award.
The Business Excellence Award recognizes an associate who has demonstrated leadership skills, achievement, growth, and success at 84 Lumber. This was awarded to Emily Patrick, 84 Lumber’s customer relations manager. Patrick joined the company in May 2021 and was promoted to her current role in December 2021.
“Emily greets all customers with a pleasant, welcoming tone,” an associate wrote in their award nomination submission. “She inspires those around her, and her dedication provides an exceptional customer experience that keeps customers coming back.”
The second honor, the Rising Star Award, recognizes up-and-coming associates at 84 Lumber. This recognition was awarded to Christian Keir, construction estimator at 84 Lumber. This award is given to “an associate to watch, who has had a significant impact on their team, and has a bright future with the company.” Keir joined 84 Lumber in December 2023.
“Christian has proved to be a good team player,” said an associate in their award submission. “Christian performs his responsibilities with high energy, intelligence, and a strong work ethic. He enjoys challenges and always goes above and beyond what is required of him.”
84 Lumber associates at team headquarters (THQ) are given the opportunity twice a year to nominate fellow associates for each award. The company’s leadership team then selects the final winners from the list of nominations.
