257 reasons to celebrate

The length of the winners’ list rivalled the BAFTAs when Aberdeen CAB held its second awards ceremony at a local hotel.

It’s been a couple of years since the bureau’s first celebration of its volunteers and staff, when those with a decade or more under their belt earned long service awards.

This time round, those with five years’ plus service got a well-deserved gong too.

Combined with those notching up 15, 20 and 25 years’ service, the total time put in was an incredible 257 years. “This demonstrates the unwavering dedication, compassion and commitment they’ve made to the citizens of Aberdeen,” said manager Kristi Kelly, who presented the awards with
her deputy, Kate Dean. More recent recruits weren’t left out. 

Five newly-trained advisers were recognised for completing the rigorous adviser training programme.
