Our colleague awards 2022

Team of The Year

The roll out of the Covid-19 vaccination programme was a key part of the pandemic response – and we were proud to play our part. That's why our prestigious Team of the Year award has gone to the colleagues involved in setting up our vaccination centres.

They came together at short notice to set up the centres – first in Newland Pharmacy in Lincoln and then at Parkside Pharmacy in Boston. Within a month from first applying to deliver the service, the first vaccine was administered. The two locations have now given more than 26,000 doses.

For many, having the vaccination gave them the confidence to start going about their everyday lives again. Seeing loved ones, enjoying hobbies, or a cuppa with a friend – things we took for granted before the pandemic.

Branches of the Year

All of our business areas encountered challenges as they navigated changes related to Covid-19. This included restrictions, colleagues isolating and the introduction of new services.

However, our colleagues worked together to continue serving our communities and provide valued services.

Helpful, Trustworthy, and Inspiring Colleagues of the Year

All our colleagues strive to demonstrate these characteristics throughout the year in many different and amazing ways and our colleague awards week gives as an opportunity to celebrate these efforts.

Colleagues have supported food banks, protected customers from fraud, improved our services, and done it all with kindness and positivity - thank you all for going the extra mile.
