Congratulations to our Travel editorial team, our second quarterly team recognition award winners!
Since introducing our quarterly team recognition award in January, we’ve received more than 70 nominations that highlight some truly outstanding and connected team efforts.

Since launching our values recognition scheme in October 2019, where colleagues nominate those who are bringing our Which? values to life, we’ve received an amazing total of 550 nominations!

Today, we’re announcing our teams of the quarter and announcing our Values Sharer of the Year, who’ll receive a £1,000 contribution towards a learning opportunity of their choice and in addition, the recipients of our two new awards – our ‘Colleague champion’ and ‘Consumer champion’ – to recognise those who have consistently gone the extra mile to help their colleagues and our members.

Say hello to our latest Values Sharer of the Month, Jennifer Rudge, who works as part of our Member Services Centre (MSC) in Cardiff as a performance improvement manager. Jen has been instrumental in establishing good communications between the MSC and other teams across the organisation. She has taken ownership and acted quickly to make things better for everyone. Her detailed and honest approach has brought the MSC closer to the rest of the organisation, ensuring we are in a better place to help support our members. These are just some of the reasons she’s been nominated for living our values, ‘We are connected’ and ‘We make it happen’. Keep up the good work Jen!
We recently ran a ‘Let’s talk: disabilities in the workplace’ event. The live session was open to all colleagues at Which? and it received fantastic feedback. It was the second in our series of internal events focusing on topics that matter to us, our first one was focused on race.
