Murray Company’s Safety Manager Beatrice Denning was presented with the Safety Professional of the Year Award by PENTA Building Group on February 22nd at the GC’s Safety Kick-Off Meeting at Angel Stadium. Beatrice was one of several nominees and the last woman standing with this deserving smile & award in-hand. If Safety had a Golden Globe, this would be its equivalent.
The pre-announcement came in the form of an email addressed to Harley Hall, VP of Operations San Diego, from PENTA’s Sr. PM, Sami Tamous, which read,
“We are excited to inform you that Beatrice Denning, your safety manager, has been nominated for the Safety Professional of the Year award!
