“It was really special to be nominated not only as it is our 150 years since we were founded and we strive to do our best 24/7, but also we work alongside so many of the charities, businesses and individuals that were present and we are so lucky to have the support from Island FM in so many ways calling out lost and found animals to promoting our events on air.”
“Three of the reception team came along with myself Terry, Sarah and Sarah and we arrived to a wonderful friendly room.”
“We took our seats and really enjoyed seeing the fantastic nominees and those lucky enough to win.”
“In the Charitable Sector there was the GSPCA, Grow and Guernsey Voluntary Service both who we know and admire so well as they do amazing work.”
“Our team work so hard to do our best for the animals and the community of Guernsey and it was such a surprise when we were called up as the winners and we all went up on stage to receive the award as without all of the team we couldn’t do all that we do.”
“The night carried on and when it came to the final award, the Overall Winner we were so surprised.”
“The other overall finalists were Sitar and Rachel Goater both of which do such fabulus customer care and if we thought we were surprised before when Carl Ward said ‘and the Overall Winner is….GSPCA’ we just couldn’t believe it, so much hard work and passion goes into so much of everything we do it was so so humbling.”
“A huge thank you to everyone involved, nominated and the winners, we all enjoyed such a special evening, made extra special as its our 150th year and all the team are so thankful for the kind recognition of everything we do.”
“A special thanks must go to those that nominated us and especially all that support us in all we do.”
Terry Buckley GSPCA Head of Reception said “What a wonderful night.”
“We all had so much fun and really couldn’t believe it when we won.”
Sarah Langlois GSPCA Receptionist and Ambulance Driver said “I don’t really get to go to these types of events and we were so surprised when we won as there were so many great nominees.”
“We really love what we do at the GSPCA and always try to do our very best and we care so much.”
