What an incredible morning! On Thursday, 8th May 2025, iNetwork attended the Resources Staff Awards hosted by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council at the Hyde Town Hall and we walked away with a win!
The morning kicked off with a warm welcome from Ashley Hughes, Director of Resources, who set the tone for a morning of celebration and recognition. Ashley delivered an inspiring introductory speech and guided us through the ceremony as our fantastic compère.
We also had the pleasure of hearing from Ridhwaan Hafezji (Assistant Director of ICT & Digital), Zoe Evans (Assistant Director of Finance), and Julie Smethurst (Assistant Director of Exchequer Services), each of whom shared insights into the award winners across different categories.
And then came the moment we had all been waiting for, iNetwork was announced as the winner of the Partnership & Collaboration Category Award!
This award is a testament to the incredible work we do at iNetwork. Partnership working and collaborative efforts are at the heart of everything we do, and to be recognised for this is truly amazing. We are beyond excited and incredibly proud to receive this honour from our host authority.
At iNetwork, we believe that strong partnerships and collaboration are the key to driving innovation, improving services, and making a real difference in the public sector. This award is not just a trophy, it is a symbol of the dedication, teamwork, and passion that our team brings to every project.
Winning at our first-ever awards ceremony makes this moment even more special. It’s an honour to be recognised, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team for their hard work and commitment.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council for hosting such a fantastic event and to our incredible team for their dedication.
