Divisional Director of Interserve John Gittins, took our Andrew Jackson on a trip to Birmingham... and he ended winning a top award! 

After a year where he suffered two strokes Andy returned with the "Bring Better to Life" award for being an inspriation at work at the Interserve and Recognition Awards’ ceremony.

He said it was the "icing on the cake" after his remarkable recovery.

Andrew has spent 12 years working at CHFT for Interserve as liaison manager and received the award for his hard work and dedication to HRI.

Mr Jackson had a stroke earlier this year, and suffered a second stroke within three weeks. His reocvery saw him lose two stones in weight and adopting a healthier lifestyle.

After the ordeal, Andrew returned to work and went on to organise charity events to raise funds and raised a tremendous £290 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance with cycle ride in HRI main entrance. He said, “The Trust at Huddersfield has really become part of my family".

His award was in recognition of his proactive approach and contributing to and creating significant improvements.
