Reflecting on the APSCo OutSource 2025 Awards for Excellence

Tina Hook, Country Manager UK&I, and Jessica Morris, Partner Manager, were pleased to attend this year’s ceremony, describing the day as a great reminder of the talent, dedication and collaboration that drives the industry forward. It was fantastic to join all those who were shortlisted and, especially, to congratulate the winners in person at this year’s awards lunch, which was held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in London on 17th September. Not to mention, Tina had the privilege of presenting the awards on stage to the lucky winners.

“A huge congratulations to the winners at the recent APSCo Outsource Winners’ Lunch! It was a genuine privilege to judge such high-calibre submissions and an honour to present the awards alongside Brian Huggett. Seeing such excellence recognised while enjoying a superb meal in such a lovely setting was truly rewarding. Congratulations again to all!”
