The winners were announced at a ceremony at the Museum of London in late-September. Everyone left with a prize: £100 each for the 16 finalists; £500 for the five category winners; and £1,000 for the overall winner.
The event is a chance to recognise and reward those staff who live by the Pinnacle’s core values – Trust, Respect, Involve, Challenge and Deliver Excellence. There are five award categories – one for every core value – and an overall ‘Pinnacle Way’ winner.
