“The last 18 months has meant that strong and decisive leadership is more important that ever, and we’ve found throughout this award process that the East Midlands is well served in this respect. Every single person shortlisted today should be very proud of their leadership skills – congratulations to you all.

“I’d like to extend a special thanks to our judges who gave up substantial amounts of their time to help with picking today’s shortlist and winners – and, of course, our sponsors without whom this event wouldn’t have happened.”
