This year’s nominations were the most impressive ever in terms of the breadth, quality and diversity of the nominations received, as well is in numbers. We received over 80 nominations for individuals and teams (some received multiple nominations), meaning that approximately 300 staff and students from the whole University community engaged in the awards process, either as a nominee, nominator or supporter.

Many of the nominations received provided an incredible level of detail with multiple nominators and supporters, and are a testament to the excellence of our professional services/support staff, and to how much they are valued by students and colleagues alike.

Thank you to everyone who got involved.

The winners will be presented with their awards at this year’s Staff Recognition Evening on Monday 2 July at which it will be announced which category of award they have won, and who has won the Staff Recognition Award for Overall Excellence. Keep an eye out as we share some of their stories over the next few weeks.
