On Friday 4th October 2024, colleagues and teams from across Alder Hey gathered together for our annual Alder Hey Stars Awards!
The event was the first one we have held in four years and was presented by The Guide Liverpool’s Jay Hynd and Claire Simmo with Special Guest Presenter Paddy McGuinness.
The event was an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to celebrating the incredible positive difference our colleagues make, each and every day.
We are especially grateful to our friends Krol Corlett Construction, who, as Bronze Sponsor, generously supported this event, helping us bring recognition to hardworking Alder Hey colleagues and teams.
