Enduring Service Awards

The Awards Evening also provided us with an opportunity to celebrate the longevity and resilience of the co-operative and mutual models.

Full members who have reached a milestone of 25, 50, 75 or 100 years or more in operation as a co-operative or mutual are awarded an Enduring Service Award in this non-judged award category. Reaching these milestones are testament to the longevity and sustainability of the co-operative model.

Here’s who was recognised for this achievement at the 2024 Awards.
