The MJ Local Government Achievement Awards, held every year since 2004, recognises the best local government services and personnel in the public sector.
Cityserve provide an estimated 50,000 school meals across the Midlands every day. The Midlands caterer has adopted a ‘unique and innovative’ approach to building a productive workplace through a can-do attitude.
The Cityserve leadership team were presented with the award by BBC Breakfast News presenter Steph McGovern at a gala night dinner at London's Hilton Hotel, Park Lane on 26 June.
Dale Wild, head of service at Cityserve, said: “It’s been a year of transformation across Cityserve and certainly hasn’t been easy for anyone, especially our workforce.
“This award recognises how much work has gone into our most important asset - our people - and proves that even in challenging times, we have a workforce that is positive, flexible and tireless in their efforts to help make our organisation the best it can be.
“We’re delighted to have been recognised as the top organisation in the country when it comes to the transformation of our workforce and I want to thank each and every one of our employees for helping make this happen. Their attitude and efforts ensure that we can offer the best possible service for our most important customers - the children - as well as best value for the people of Birmingham.”
Cityserve have previously won awards including Best Service Team in the UK at the MJ Awards and Best Catering Service Team at the APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence) Awards in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
