The results

• Winner: Brett Harris from First Power and Surge Protection

Brett Harris, Business Manager at First Power & Surge Protection, was crowned our 2023 Office Hero – with no deliberation from the judges!

His commitment to excellence, exceptional dedication, and tireless efforts have not only positively impacted his colleagues but have also elevated the business as a whole – after just 20 months in the role.

• Highly Commended: Dave Hall at Paces

Dave Hall, Fundraising and Communications Manager at Paces, was highly commended for his positive attitude and morale – during a difficult time for charities.

Over the years his efforts have led to the success of The Paces Club 300 initiative, which connects businesses in the region, allows them to forge new business relationships, and in turn, raises funds to allow Paces to continue their incredible work.
