Congratulations to our Brand, Marketing and Communications team who picked up Gold at the Corporate Engagement Awards this week, with our partner, ParalympicsGB.
During the pandemic, our Brand, Marketing and Communications team designed the campaign with ParalympicsGB to bring our inclusion commitment to life and engage colleagues across the business using a wide range of activities and channels. This included athlete-led webinars, podcast, events, virtual challenges, competitions and videos.
