David Kelham, Warwickshire’s High Sheriff, said: “Nearly halfway through my Shrieval year as Warwickshire’s High Sheriff, it is very apparent that there is just not going to be the time to visit the huge multitude of people and organisations contributing to making this county such a fantastic place to live, work and play.
“It is a hugely important part of the modern role of High Sheriff to recognise, celebrate and thank all the people – many of them unsung heroes – who work tirelessly to underpin the county that we know and love and to try and do this I will be following on from previous High Sheriff’s by inviting nominations from the community for my annual awards.”
Cllr Izzi Seccombe, Leader of Warwickshire County Council, said: “We are so fortunate that we live in Warwickshire, a county with a wide array of outstanding natural beauty and equally outstanding organisations, independent businesses and communities who all work tirelessly together to make this county the best it can be.
“We are also very fortunate to have had a succession of outstanding High Sheriffs in Warwickshire who have such a deep understanding and love of our County and the drive to want to make a positive impact during their time in the role.
“The annual High Sheriff Awards are a fantastic opportunity to ensure that Warwickshire’s unsung heroes – be they Individuals, volunteers or organisations – receive a little bit of recognition for the amazing contribution that they make to this county.”
