Exciting Times!

Any business or individual delivering a top quality service will know
how rewarding it is when you are recognised for your hard work and
effort, Extra Hands are delighted and extremely proud to announce that
we have been short listed for 3 of the 'Norfolk Care Awards'.
The 'Norfolk Care Awards' are held annually to recognise and reward
care providers across the county, Dennis Bacon, Chair of Norfolk
Independent Care and one of 3 judges on the panel had this to say about
the awards ‘We seldom recognise the innovation and quality that is
delivered by providers in our communities every day, from both
independent and voluntary sector organisations. This event provides
us with an important opportunity to demonstrate and recognise the
excellent work that is being done across the county.’
The awards are being held at Dunston Hall, the nominees
representing Extra Hands in the following categories are: Hazel Evans
'Outstanding Achievement', Anita Walter 'Motivational Leadership' and
the company along with our Training Manager Diane Dorr 'Delivering
Excellence Through Learning & Development’. We are thrilled to be
shortlisted in the first instance as this is a great achievement in itself,
and wait with much anticipation for the award ceremony being held
on Thursday 13th February to find out if we have been successful, we
will keep you posted in the next edition!
