Announcing the winners of APSE Performance Networks Awards 2024

 

APSE Performance Networks is pleased to announce the winners in the most improved and best performer categories for the Performance Networks Awards for 2024. The awards ceremony took place at the Performance Networks Seminar at the Village Hotel, Blackpool on the evening of Thursday 5 December 2024.

The awards were announced by presenter and broadcaster, Emmanuelle Lhoni.

Commenting on the Awards, Mo Baines, APSE Chief Executive said:

“With the continued pressures on council finances, the effective use of data to improve performance is more important than ever.

“It is fantastic to see so many local authorities successfully utilising APSE’s benchmarking to develop their frontline services and achieve excellence. Congratulations to all winners and finalists.”

The charity awards dinner is a special event in the local government calendar and in recent years has raised over £50,000 for Parkinsons UK.
