Warden celebrates staff achievements and charts future plans at annual team event

Warden brought the team together for an afternoon of connection, recognition, and inspiration at its annual company update.

The event, held this year at Haydock Racecourse, served as an opportunity for staff from across the business to come together, celebrate key milestones, and look ahead at our plans for 2025.

Managing director Ian Williams and other members of the leadership team led a series of presentations reflecting on our 2024 achievements, highlighting the positive impact of our social value initiatives in the communities we serve, and outlining our strategic goals for the year ahead.

A presentation was also delivered by Andy’s Man Club, a suicide prevention charity that runs free peer-to-peer support groups for men across the UK, on the importance of mental health awareness in the workplace.

The afternoon was topped off with our annual staff awards, celebrating individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond over the past year.

This year’s awards included Apprentice & Mentor of the Year (Connor Holmes & Teri Robinson), Building Something Greater (Blackpool Youth Hub), WOW Factor Quality (Osian Griffiths), People’s Choice Award (Neil Gorst), HSE Champion (Neil Addison) and the Top Gun Award (Chris Seville).

Ian Williams, our managing director, said: “Bringing our people together is always a highlight of the year. It’s a chance to celebrate achievements, reflect on our impact, and share our ambitions for the future.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work the team has delivered over the past 12 months, and I’m confident that, together, we’ll continue to build something greater in 2025 and beyond.”
