Hide AdDirector Kara Wilkinson said “It’s a great achievement and something we are really proud of. But we wouldn’t be anywhere if it wasn’t for our staff, clients, and the support of our family. They deserve this recognition as much as Graham and I. It’s nice to be rewarded for our efforts and recognised within the community. We hope this is the start of many opportunities that lie ahead.”
No Offence! CIC also scooped an award for the second year running with managing director Sue Clifford winning the business person of the year.
Sue said: “Receiving the business person of the year award, for me and my team, is a real honour, the icing on the cake of what has been an amazing journey since we launched in June 2011.”
“It’s especially poignant for me to receive this in our home county of Notts. We are very proud that we have developed what has now become a national and international justice information exchange, which has become a centre of excellence and much needed and highly respected service across the justice sector, and we are still not even two-years-old.”
