This September saw The Auction House hosting the Beds Fire Services Annual Awards Dinner which recognises the achievements, hard work and dedication of Bedfordshire's firefighters.
On 6th September, Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service held its annual awards evening at The Auction House to celebrate its successes during the previous year. This year’s honours included Watch Commander John Murphy who released a young boy crushed by a car and Fire Cadet Charlie Beresford who put out a fire in the chip shop where he worked.
Councillor Colleen Atkins, Chair of Bedfordshire Fire & Rescue Authority, said:
“It was an honour to present the awards that recognise the tremendous achievements by members of our Fire & Rescue Service whose dedication and commitment helps keep the people of Bedfordshire safe. The array of awards is impressive and they are well deserved. It is right that we recognise and reward our staff properly for the contribution they make to our community. The Awards Ceremony was an excellent evening and highlighted the crucial role of the Fire and Rescue Service in Bedfordshire.”
Paul Fuller CBE QFSM, Chief Fire Officer, added, “This was an outstanding evening. I was pleased everyone was able to celebrate the marvellous achievements of our Firefighters, support staff and Fire Cadets. Their actions and activities were in keeping with the spirit of everything we in the fire and Rescue Service stands for.”
Feedback from the client to The Auction House:
"From start to finish our event was treated with the utmost professionalism, an excellent venue with very helpful staff. All of our guests were overwhelmed and we would recommend anyone to hold their event at The Auction House."
