  • Comment from the judges

    Love to see that 70% of its leadership started as EMTs themselves. That really connects leadership to the purpose of the business and its people. Even asking them to roll up their sleeves and work on the frontline too. Clearly practising what you preach is a great way to inspire. Clearly working hard across all areas of driving a PeopleFirst experience. Well done.
