In January, we invited everyone to nominate their colleagues for a We Are Menzies Award.

When the nominations closed at the end of February, we had received more than 1,200 nominations globally to celebrate colleagues who demonstrate our values. From administering first aid in an emergency and stopping work in dangerous situations, to supporting colleagues and customers to get results, the wide range of nominations showcase the commitment of our colleagues who go above and beyond every day.

Our regional judging panels had the difficult task of reviewing the nominations and choosing the regional finalists. Following some tough decisions, we are delighted to announce the regional finalists for each of our values awards.
