In December 2023, we announced the winners of the annual Gordon Moody Staff Awards at our all-colleague away day.
Voted for by colleagues, these awards are peer-to-peer recognition and celebrate the fantastic work our teams and colleagues have completed during 2023. The results were very close in most categories, as shown by the number of joint winners/runners-up!
In one of his last official engagements as out-going CEO, the awards were presented by Matthew Hickey.
