The Merit Awards - Recognising the fantastic work of our regional groups.
The Merit Awards are designed to recognise the hard work of one member of an affiliated local group whose contribution has often gone unrecognised. Each affiliated NBE group can nominate one member. The NBE Local Group Merit Awards certificate recognises an individual's commitment and innovative efforts within their local group, where they have worked tirelessly to promote best practice in the field of moving and handling. The award will be presented to the successful nominee from each of the local groups at the annual NBE conference dinner.
