Annual Staff Awards 2021


Following the postponement of our annual staff awards event at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and due to the current restrictions on group gatherings, we have had to think differently about how we celebrate our deserving winners and runners up. We have been surprising the winners of each award, presenting them with their certificates and trophies and catching it all on camera.
