NEVER KNOWS WHEN TO GO HOME AWARD

 

Winner: Adrian Price and Tony Green

Runner-up: Rob Richardson

We'd say well done, but I think this award requires more of a thank you, thank you for staying when you are required to do so and even when you are not.

I think we can all agree that Chris is our office rocket, almost sprinting from one task to the next. Thanks for all your hard work, Chris.
