The annual Civil Service Awards are our chance to celebrate the phenomenal array of talented and dedicated individuals we have doing amazing work across the Civil Service. We want to thank and recognise our colleagues for their brilliant public service.
Thank you to everyone who put in a nomination. We received more than 1,200 nominations, and together they tell a story of hard work, incredible commitment and unwavering values.
I also want to thank our judges, who have had the difficult task of producing the shortlist for this year's awards.
Congratulations to those who have made it to the shortlist. I look forward to meeting them at the awards ceremony at Lancaster House in London on 21 November.
