Now in its 9th year, the Soldiering On Awards recognise many truly inspirational people and teams; highlighting the outstanding achievements of current and former service men and women, their families and all those who support the Armed Forces community.
The 2019 winners were announced tonight at a glittering ceremony in London, hosted by media personality Carol Vorderman MBE and broadcaster JJ Chalmers.
From an overwhelming number of outstanding nominations, the esteemed panel of judges selected their winners who were presented with their awards.
Ren Kapur, Co-Chair of the Soldiering On Awards and CEO of X-Forces Enterprise said:
I am delighted that the Soldiering On Awards 2019 was a great success with record numbers in attendance; well-deserved recongition for some of the most outstanding members of our Armed Forces community; the pledge of support from ourselves at X-Forces and other sponsors & partners of ongoing support for the winners of the Business of the Year categories and a beautiful performance by Soldiering On Awards Ambassador of the Arts Carly Paoli.
Awards are so important in acknowledging achievement and recognition; they therefore also identify and create role models for others to follow. It’s long been my view that being recognised as a Finalist or winning an award should be the beginning; the start of the next stage of a journey, and the opportunity to multiply the result for the good of society as a whole. Soldiering On is committed to harnessing its full capability to support the overall category winners. We will identify areas where we can support areas that align to their objectives and review with the winners on a regular basis: 3, 6 and 12months after their award. This is something we urge our partners to get on board with: how can you help our winners today? Then in 12months time when this years’ role models hand over the baton we can all feel as if we have contributed in towards these role model’s successes.
Tonight would not have been possible without the support of our partners, sponsors, proud associates and the help of the Soldiering On Awards team & the fantastic Cadets so thank you all for your contributions. Finally & most importantly I wholeheartedly congratulate each & every one of the finalists & winners. You are all truly inspirational.
