Chief executive and joint chair award
This year the chief executive and joint chair awarded a team who had gone above and beyond over the last 12 months.
““Since joining the organisation 20 years ago and serving as chief executive for the last five years, I have seen first-hand the incredible work our staff carry out.
“Without each and every one of us in this organisation pulling together with commitment and dedication for our community, we simply wouldn’t be able to do what we do.
“It is so important that we recognise colleagues who really do go above and beyond in their roles. It’s why this awards night is so important, as we gather to reflect on some of the work we have achieved over the last year.”
Gillon, Chief Executive
