“This year, like so many public servants, CPS colleagues have carried out exceptional work under hugely challenging circumstances. It felt more important than ever to recognise and celebrate their achievements.

I’m extremely proud of the creativity and dedication my team showed when they completely redesigned our annual CPS Awards for Excellence. Not only did they attract more nominations than ever before, but they staged a brilliant virtual event that felt really special and memorable for all those involved.”
