Voyage Excellence Awards What a night at our Voyage Excellence Awards 2019!
What a night! On Thursday 17 October 2019, we held our Voyage Excellence Awards at The Belfry Hotel in Sutton Coldfield. It was a pleasure to spend an evening celebrating the shining stars of Voyage Care. We recognised the special achievements and efforts of all of our staff who really go the extra mile for the people we support.
Our host this year was comedienne and actress Sally Phillips. You might recognise her from the comedy show ‘Smack The Pony’ or as Tilly from ‘Miranda’. She took a step away from the big screen for one night to join us in celebrating our shining stars. Sally says “it was a lovely privilege!”
The MisFits wowed us with a night of brilliant music, keeping us on the dancefloor late into the night. Magician Matthew Knight certainly had a few tricks up his sleeve, entertaining our guests and keeping us guessing as we watched in awe.
A huge congratulations to the 2019 Voyage Excellence Awards winners…
