An award for Northwards Housing
« on: January 18, 2013, 03:53:55 PM »
Wednesday night was a champagne reception to launch the Stonewall 2013 Index ( the top 100 employers were invited to attend) and they presented individual awards. It took place on 23rd floor of the Aviva building, close to the Gherkin (Google for info - an impressive place).

Our darling daughter (Tara) was invited in recognition for her good work in gaining an award for her employer, Northwards Housing, Manchester, England.
Tara is employed as their Equality and Diversity officer.

Tara gets a mention in this article:

Nice to be mentioned among those famous companies.

Thank you Laurie. Yes, Mum and Dad are very proud of her.
She is a very modest and deserving little star 8)

Ive sent Tara a link to this forum topic.  She has just arrived in Glasgow (by train) - up visiting her friends for the weekend.
I imagine there may be some celebrations ::)
