The CHSA has unveiled its new awards, created to celebrate excellence, commitment and talent.

- Outstanding Contribution to the CHSA
Tracey Black, CHSA Council Member and the driving force behind the creation of the awards, explained: “This is an exciting new initiative for the CHSA. Our purpose is to recognise the enormous contribution made by individuals in our industry, the emergent new talent and the manufacturers and distributors who work hard to take the industry forward
“We’re extremely grateful to the sponsors who are making this celebration of excellence possible.”
The shortlists for Manufacturer of the Year and Distributor of the Year will be compiled by an independent panel of senior industry executives, the final winners being selected by a vote amongst CHSA members.
CHSA members will be invited to nominate individuals for the Rising Star and Outstanding Contribution to the CHSA categories. An independent panel will then select the winners from the nominations.
