Regional head of operations Kim Smith was named Frontline Leader award. She was presented with her award at a ceremony held at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool, with a keynote speech by motivational speaker and leadership expert Gavin Ingham.

The audience heard judges describe how Kim’s constructive approach helped her team to navigate change and find solutions.

Kim said: "I was really overwhelmed to win the award, it is not about the recognition for me it is more about the excellent services we provide and my role supporting and leading our wonderful teams to deliver our services to the people we support."
