Usually this prestigious award goes to an individual that is incredibly influential within the sector and the top of their career in terms of both job title and recognised contribution to the sector. This year, in line with our hidden heroes campaign, we wanted to recognise someone that is an ‘every day’ or ‘hidden hero’. An individual (or team) who is representative of the 1000’s of hidden heroes from across the profession that have worked tirelessly during COVID-19 to keep us all moving.
