Guinness Midsummer scoop first place in awards

This month, representatives from Guinness Midsummer took to the stage at the MK Dons stadium to collect first place in the Milton Keynes and North Bucks Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence awards, for their sustained commitment and engagement with the local community.

Having entered the award for the work that we have carried out during our first Make a Difference (MAD) day in 2007 and the ongoing work of our Estate Appraisal Programme and Community Development Fund, we were delighted but not wholly surprised to come first, despite facing stiff competition from the centre:mk and MK Theatre.

Maggie Sherlock, Chief Executive of Guinness Midsummer, who went up to collect the award with Business Change Manager, Dawn Irvine , said: "This award is a great testament to the marvellous work that our staff do in the community on a daily basis. It's not only the hands-on work that we do through the estate appraisals and MAD days, but also the empowerment that our Community Development Fund gives to groups and individuals that really makes the difference."

The judges' commented that it was 'an excellent application demonstrating the outstanding service to the community through its wide ranging community programme."

Just a couple more awards and we'll invest in a trophy cabinet!
