We are pleased to announce the sponsors of our Team NUH Awards 2022

We are pleased to reveal some of the sponsors of our staff recognition programme, the Team NUH Awards, for 2022.
The Team NUH Awards run year round, with quarterly awards across eight categories given in January, March and June. The year of recognition then culminates in an annual celebration ceremony hosted in the autumn. The staff and teams recognised with a quarterly award form the shortlist for the ‘overall winner’ in their category, which is revealed at the annual ceremony, as is the winner of the Volunteer of the Year category. There are therefore nine categories in the awards, each with a dedicated sponsor.
Here's a first look at some of our sponsors for 2022....
