Paula Swain said: "I haven’t won a major sporting event, but this honestly felt that good! I regularly applaud our UK-wide team for their hard work and their excellence, but this is external recognition and praise. It lets us know that we are heading in the right direction, and that our team is being seen and appreciated in our market.
“I value this more than I can say. We thrive when we know we have a purpose, and this award has strengthened our resolve to keep going. A huge congratulations to my commercial recoveries colleagues across the UK – this win is yours, so thank you!”
