iESE Awards: The Awards Ceremony
Wednesday 8th September 2021 | 18:00 – 22:00 | Church House, London
Our awards ceremony was where we brought together all the finalists and we crown the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners from each category.
The awards are an opportunity to celebrate and share the most innovative practice in transforming local public services. For all of us in local government, embracing financial pressures in order to excel is a way of life. Developing new ways of working and transforming service delivery isn’t ‘just another day in the office’, it’s our passion.
Please note that no public money is spent on the event because the IESE Public Sector Transformation Awards ceremony is sponsored by individual businesses. Therefore, each winner is provided with free places in recognition of their efforts in improving their local areas.
We will be uploading the live streamed video of our awards cermemony to this page and on our social media accounts.
