On Friday 14th May, Quantum Care held its fourth Annual Care Award Ceremony. This year we were honoured to have special presenters Paul Dunnery, Area Manager of East Anglia and Central for the Alzheimers Society, and County Councillor Chris Hayward, Deputy Executive for Adult Care and Health, Hertfordshire County Council. Over two hundred staff and guests attended on the night. Following an evening meal, there was an Oscar-style ceremony, where the winners of each category were presented with a trophy and certificate. All runners up were then presented with a bouquet of flowers. Maria Ball, Chief Executive of Quantum Care said "we are very proud of our staff, and these awards really give us the opportunity to publicly thank them for the fantastic work they do in our homes".
