Midlands Air Ambulance Charity has been crowned the overall winner at Asian Business Chamber of Commerce’s (ABCC) 2020 annual awards.
The charity picked up the Overall ABCC Business of the Year 2020 award, sponsored by Aston University, as well as the Outstanding Charity of the Year award, sponsored by Learner Engagement Training Services, during the virtual awards extravaganza.
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, headed up by chief executive Hanna Sebright, attends emergency incidents across the West Midlands, including road traffic collisions and cardiac arrest calls.
The charity operates and funds air ambulances and critical care cars, used by doctors and critical care paramedics which provide care to those critically ill or injured, before conveying patients to hospital.
Mandy Canny, head of membership at Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce and head of the judging panel, said: “Midlands Air Ambulance charity has shown exceptional work during the pandemic, continuing to deliver advanced pre-hospital patient care, while maintaining awareness of and support for the organisation.”
Alongside the charity, seven other businesses and individuals picked up awards during the virtual event, live streamed from Chamber House.
