Supporting the Safer Cambridgeshire Policing Awards 2017

July 17, 2017

Black Marble is the proud sponsor of the award for Commitment to Safeguarding at Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s first annual awards ceremony for police officers.

Held in July at Burgess Hall, St Ives, the event acknowledged those who have truly gone above and beyond their role to help ‘create a safer Cambridgeshire’ through a number of award categories.

The ceremony, hosted by Rev Richard Coles included food, drinks, music and presentations of awards by the Chief Constable and the Police and Crime Commissioner, along with Black Marble’s Development Director, Rob Hancock, and Business Development Director (tuServ), Lisa Hancock.

Chief Constable Alec Wood said: “So much brave and admirable work goes on every day and I look forward to formally recognising this and congratulating our policing stars who have gone the extra mile. At a time when many of us are stretched, those showing the utmost commitment and dedication to making our communities safer shouldn’t go unnoticed. My thanks and gratitude also goes to Black Marble and all of our sponsors who helped us fund the evening. We wouldn’t have been able to make the event happen without your support.”
