"Our team is unique; I see how they work on a daily basis which is why they were put forward for these two awards.  

I was proud when they won the regionals but to go on and win both awards at the national finals and be singled out from over 200 applications across the country is incredible.

Well-deserved and I am so pleased the team had some fun in Birmingham at the national finals, as celebrations have been few and far between over the last 2 years.”
