Apple House were so very honoured to be national finalists in The National Learning Disability and Autism Awards!

Last Friday Romaine, Director of Operations, and Jane, Managing Director, travelled to Birmingham to the ICC for the gala dinner that preceded a glittering awards ceremony.  Although we didn’t win, the fact that we reached the finals was really something for us!  Everyone there really were winners and completely inspirational.

We were entertained by the ultra talented Dance Syndrome who had some incredible moves!  Also entertaining us all was the super funny actress Sally Phillips of Bridget Jones notoriety who (in spite of her insistence otherwise) can sing beautifully

And here we are collecting our finalists certificates which we are very proud of.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists.

Good luck to Apple House and the other finalists!  We’ll let you know how we get on.

Romaine Lawson, Director of Operations for Apple House care home group, travelled to Birmingham to represent us.  Romaine said, “It was such an honour and privilege for Apple House to be finalists alongside national charities and city councils as one of only ten finalists in the country for the ‘Best Employer’ category.”

An honour indeed.  We are but a small company of dedicated professionals and to be a finalist for such a prestigious award has really rather taken us aback in the best possible way!

So, here’s keeping everything crossed.  To our team: we adore you.  Here’s to you!
