The two runners-up in this category were Powys County Council and Shetland Islands Council. The APSE Annual Charity Awards Dinner, in aid of Parkinson’s UK, took place on Thursday 14th September 2023 at the Titanic Belfast.
Anita Brown, chair of LACA, commented: "We were absolutely thrilled to win the APSE Best Service Team: Catering Services accolade at the annual awards dinner. The submission was focused on the great job our frontline staff do day to day and its is wonderful for them to get this award and recognition for their innovation, hard work and loyalty, and a great start to my year as LACA national chair."
The APSE Awards are specific to frontline services provided by UK local authorities. This year, the Awards included 21 categories, covering the vast majority of local services.
Mo Baines, APSE chief executive, said: “Across local Government we have an army of unsung heroes going above and beyond to deliver for their local communities. The purpose of last night’s celebration was to recognise the very best in public services and to share that best practice with all.
“We received over 300 submissions for the awards this year, with each one demonstrating a clear commitment to the goals of continuous improvement and the delivery of excellence in public services. On behalf of everyone at APSE, I would like to congratulate each one of our incredible finalists – you are a credit to the communities you serve."
