Avery Healthcare Group Awards 2022
Being part of the Avery Healthcare Group, the Hawthorns recognises and celebrates our colleague’s excellence, passion, and hard work as an integral element of our values. Throughout the summer, colleagues have been nominating their peers for our annual awards, and we are now delighted to announce the finalists.
Chief Operating Officer Lisa Soper said, “Thank you to all who nominated colleagues across Avery care homes and the Hawthorns Group in the spirit of our #OneFamily values of being proud, supportive, and caring. The level of entries this year was incredible, and it wasn’t easy to determine the finalists, as every nomination had a powerful story behind it. Congratulations to you all.”
We are now looking forward to welcoming all the finalists to attend a black-tie gala dinner and awards ceremony on the 17th of November 2022 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nottingham, where the winner for each category will be announced.
