Thanks for all your hard work

THE teams that make a real difference for the people of Middlesbrough week in, week out have been recognised at a special awards event.

The Middlesbrough Council Team Awards – now in their third year – were launched to throw a spotlight on the tireless work that often goes unsung.

Teams and service areas are invited to submit nominations across a number of award categories including Partnership Working, Adapting to Change, Business Improvement and Special Volunteering.

This year’s winners were selected from nearly 80 submissions by a judging panel made up of senior council officers and representatives of a range of partners.

Middlesbrough Council chief executive Tony Parkinson said: “This council’s single most important resource is its people.”
