Our long-service awards celebrated the outstanding dedication and contributions of this remarkable group to Designer Group’s success and future growth.

Many of those honoured began their careers as apprentices, developing into highly skilled professionals through years of hard work and perseverance. Others have carved out specialised roles in areas such as finance, training, and apprentice support, shaping their own career paths within the organisation. Their unwavering commitment to excellence has been invaluable, ensuring quality and consistency in every task they undertake.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all awardees for their dedication, and we look forward to celebrating more milestones together in the future.
