The final award at our annual celebration and awards evening 2024, was our prestigious business member of the year award. The award is given to a company who has really “walked the talk” of CSR and community engagement over the last year.
The nominees for the award were:
Walker & Son
Sytner
Nelsons Law
Everards
Cambridge and counties Bank
Bradgate Bakers
Walker Deli Sausage Co
There could only be one winner from this outstanding group, and it was Everards
“Over the last year Everards has shown time and time again they are committed to working with young people and the community to make a real change. This has varied from hosting work tours, providing green volunteering opportunities for job seeking young people, practical hands-on help to community groups, sharing employability skills and knowledge with school children and job seekers and generously donating items to our #BagsOfHope and other community drives. All of this has been delivered with passion, creativity and humility. A shining example of what can be achieved when a local company is purposefully committed to giving back to the local community
Kieran Breen CEO Leicestershire Cares
It has been inspiring to hear so many great examples tonight of companies working with communities and young people to bring about positive change. So, I feel really humbled to accept this award on behalf of Everards and the great staff who have made this happen. I am looking forward to building on our work with Leicestershire Cares in the year ahead
