At the event Mark was certain that we were going to win our category whilst the rest of us were too nervous to hope for a win! It felt like we had to wait such a long time for the award part of the evening to begin, as there were speeches and a rather posh meal first.
When it was announced that we had won our category Mark was up on the stage in a flash. I was several steps behind him as the news was just beginning to sink in. We accepted the award and had our photos taken. Everyone at our table was jumping around and cheering as we were all so excited.
When the time came for the Winner of Winners award we didn't think we were in with a chance to win this as there were so many fantastic people there, although we did spend a lot of time admiring the trophy. When our name was called as the Winner of Winners we were all so surprised and excited. Again Mark was up and on the stage before I had even pushed my chair back. So to Mark, thank you for ensuring someone was up there to accept the award promptly and with such enthusiasm—you were certainly the star of the night.
However I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Senior Practitioners who have been so involved in the Great Interactions work - without your hard work and dedication to improve all interactions with the people MacIntyre supports, we would not have won this prestigious award.
Well done everyone!
