On the 16th July 2019, Invotra’s CEO, Fintan Galvin, attended the awards ceremony for all nominees. The event took place at Portcullis House at the Houses of Commons in London.

Co-chairman of the APCRG, Jonathan Djanogly MP opened up the awards ceremony, followed by an introduction from The Baroness Greengross OBE, who highlighted the huge increase in applications for the award and the increased support from MPs suggesting organisations in their constituencies. 

Kelly Tolhurst MP then talked about the importance of responsibility in businesses and the great strides being made by companies committing to, and delivering on, responsibility. She then went on to announce the winner of the award, which consisted of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, followed by two Highly Commended awards. 

Invotra was awarded Highly Commended, being recognised as joint 4th out of 224 organisations. 

Invotra extends its congratulations to all the organisations that were shortlisted, in particular, Manchester Airport, who were also awarded Highly Commended, as well as Standard Life who came 1st overall.
