As we enter our 50th year, we will be recognising our achievements, with 12 months of celebrations through key themes of collaboration, people and communities to sustainability and digital transformation. There will be lots of different activities for staff, customers, and suppliers to get involved in, such as raising money for charity, launching new strategic partnerships, introducing new product ranges, competitions, and events.
This year, we’re also celebrating a total of £164m being given back to the public sector through member dividend payments since the formation of the organisation – an average of £3m a year.
