“The manager who kept everyone together through the hardest year.”Nominate
“The colleague who never asks for credit, and deserves it most.”Nominate
“The team that goes the extra mile for every customer, every time.”Nominate

Their name is read out. The room rises. Everything they gave, everyone who doubted, every late night, all in one moment of applause.
