Efi Hershkovitz, chief executive of Danshell, said: “Danshell has become a national group in the last year and this has been a major challenge for everyone but one that the whole team has risen to and the company is now seeing the results of all the hard work.
“I believe that people should be recognised for their hard work, and going above and beyond in what they do. The awards celebrate people who have been nominated by their peers for their hard work and dedication in providing a gold standard of care.
“However, there are many more individuals carrying out sterling work in our services and I would like to personally congratulate every single member of the Danshell team for their achievements this year.”
