Annual Employee Awards

The winners and finalists of the council's first ever Annual Employee Awards were announced in an award ceremony in July.

The awards scheme was launched to reward staff who have delivered the level of excellence you deserve. Ealing residents, people working in the borough and council employees were invited to nominate any individual or team that they felt deserved recognition for a job well done, whatever that may be.

All nominators were entered into a free prize draw. The winner of the nomination form prize draw was Sarah Hughes who has been presented with £200 of shopping vouchers.
