On Wednesday 18th January, Cohort held our annual Business Excellence Awards in London.
The purpose of the awards is to recognise and reward employees and team’s business excellence across the Cohort Group; employees working in a way that leads to an excellent outcome for the business. The awards not only focus on business successes such as contract awards, they also recognise and reward the talent, hard work and innovation that exists at all levels of the Group that is directed towards achieving our long‐term objectives. Everyone can therefore contribute to business excellence, regardless of role or seniority, and in teams or as individuals.
