Avery Healthcare Group Awards 2023

Recognising and celebrating our peers’ excellence and hard work is integral to our values at Avery. Throughout August and September, Avery Healthcare and the Hawthorns group colleagues nominated and shared testimonials of their peers for our annual Avery Awards. This year, we were delighted to introduce a Volunteer of the Year category, recognising our volunteers who share their time and talents with residents across our homes.

Chief Executive Officer Lorna Rose hosted the awards on Thursday 2nd November, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a joyous occasion, as shortlisted finalists came together for a celebration lunch, commemorating the wonderful successes across our group. Residents and staff teams within our homes were also able to join in with a live feed of the event streamed to our homes, allowing them to support their colleagues and celebrate successes with their own parties.

Speaking on behalf of the Executive team, Lorna said: “Everyone at Avery feels proud to be part of the healthcare sector, and we all aspire to make a difference to people’s lives. This event is particularly special as nominations have been made by peers. I felt hugely proud as we celebrated each other’s achievements and would like to congratulate those who received a nomination, finalists, and the winners. Avery is a truly special place to be.”
