Excellence Awards 2016

The ceremony for South England and Wales takes place on the afternoon of Wednesday 15th June .We have had an outstanding year in Essex and the number of colleagues who have made it through to the final reflect this.  Even to get a nomination is an achievement. Furthermore, others recognise the great work that goes on around our business and it definitely doesn't go unnoticed.  

Last year, there were 1110 nominations and we have vastly improved on that this year with1430 nominations.   Across the UK we raised over £7000  in money which goes straight to our chosen charity Prostate cancer UK as for each entry received a £5 donation was given.
