While teaching and research remain at the heart of everything we do, it's our people who make the School such a vibrant and supportive community. Our annual SBBS Summer BBQ provided the perfect opportunity to come together, celebrate the year's accomplishments, and recognise colleagues who have gone above and beyond.
Awards were presented across a range of categories, including Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), Professional Services, Research, Academia and Technical Support, highlighting the outstanding contributions of staff from across the School.
Congratulations to all of this year's award winners, and thank you to everyone who has helped make this another successful year for SBBS. We look forward to building on these achievements in the year ahead.
