Riverside staff are the stars

Riverside starsThe awards recognise and reward the excellent work of Riverside's employees. It is an opportunity for colleagues to nominate one another and for the organisation to highlight just some of the amazing work that happens every day across its operations.

Over 70 nominations were received for this year’s awards and as usual the judging panel had a tough time narrowing down the entries to assess which projects provide improved services for our residents / tenants / owners / customers. On 30 September the awards ceremony was hosted by CSC Director, Anna Bishop, and Mersey North Director, Tom McGuire in Liverpool.

Deborah Shackleton, Chief Executive, carried out her traditional role handing out trophies to the winners. She also made a closing speech which marked her last Riverside staff awards ceremony as Group Chief Executive. “Once again, I have been overwhelmed by the quality of nominations and the fabulous work done by everyone here today, and I particularly congratulate the winners.  Of all the things and the people I’ll miss when I retire from Riverside, Staff Awards Day will stand out.  These occasions are very special and so are all of you.”
