We’re pleased to announce that Re:locate’s Christmas Quiz 2010 was won by Sara Levy, of Total Reward Solutions, who receives £100 worth of John Lewis vouchers. Congratulations to Sara.

And on the subject of winners, we’d like to remind you that Friday 18 February is the deadline for entering this year’s fabulous Re:locate Awards, so it’s time to get started on your entry!

There’s plenty of helpful advice and guidance, plus previous winners’ inspiring case studies, in the Awards section of our website. For all the latest awards news, see the Winter 2010/11 issue of Re:locate, and the final issue of Re:locate Awards Special, our monthly newsletter (out w/c 31 January). And don’t forget to sign up for our next awards webinar (Friday 4 February, 11.00–11.30), when we’ll be answering all your awards-related questions.
