THE Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust has announced details of its annual Our People Awards staff recognition celebration event thanks to the generosity of its corporate sponsors.

The event, which takes place at The Riviera International Centre in Torquay in May, celebrates the achievements of colleagues who have gone above and beyond to deliver outstanding compassionate care, supporting others at work and in our communities.

Anyone who has received an Our People Award or another recognition award during the past 12 months is invited to attend.

Nevada Construction and Bailey Partnership both have long standing relationships with the awards and are welcomed back as platinum sponsors.

They will be joined by Stride Treglown Architecture and MW Benney Ltd who are sponsoring the event for the first time.

Nevada Construction has a long-rooted history with Torbay and South Devon’s NHS, including delivering new operating theatres and an endoscopy unit at Torbay Hospital, and finalising a new Emergency Department, a transformative project designed to meet the growing demands of the community.

Nevada Construction is sponsoring the awards for the fourth year in a row.

Director Bob Tranckle said: ‘Nevada Construction is honoured to once again be platinum sponsors for the Our People Awards.

‘Our partnership continues to be a source of immense pride, and we are committed to celebrating the dedication and achievements of its exceptional people.

‘Torbay Hospital holds a personal connection for us, as it was the workplace of our mother’s career and the place where our children were born.

‘Supporting the hospital aligns with our company’s values and highlights our dedication to contributing to the community’.

Bailey Partnership has generously sponsored the event for the past three years and has also helped to deliver key projects at Torbay Hospital.

Director Giles Blight explains: ‘At Bailey Partnership, we believe in the power of community and celebrating the individuals who make it thrive.

‘Our Torbay office is deeply rooted in the local area, and supporting the people who dedicate themselves to our wellbeing is incredibly important to us.

‘For the past two years, we’ve proudly sponsored the Our People Awards, and we are honoured to be back this year’.

The Trust welcomes new sponsors Stride Treglown Architecture, a long-standing partner of more than 20 years, whose expertise has helped shape and design innovative hospital facilities.

Daniel van Luttmer, Director, Healthcare Design, Stride Treglown Architecture said: ‘The dedication shown by the trust’s people every day is truly inspiring. Our long partnership has given us a deep appreciation of the people who make outstanding healthcare possible for their communities, and that’s something we are privileged to support’.

MW Benney Ltd, a Torbay based construction contractor, has joined as first time sponsor.

Alex Bickham, Director, MW Benney said: ‘MW Benney Ltd are proud to support the Our People Awards.

‘As a company that regularly works within healthcare environments, we see first-hand the dedication, compassion and professionalism of the staff who care for the local community every day.

‘Supporting these awards is a small way for us to recognise and celebrate the incredible individuals and teams whose hard work and commitment make such a difference to patients and families across Torbay and South Devon’.

Hulley and Kirkwood and Services Design Solution are also welcomed back as gold sponsors and Arque Ltd as a silver sponsor.

Multiverse and Peninsula Project Consulting join the line-up as first time sponsors of the events, sponsoring entertainment and decorations.

Joe Teape, Chief Executive of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, said: ‘We are so grateful to all our sponsors for generously sponsoring Our People Awards 2026 and publicly supporting our people.

‘The event means so much to our people and we are delighted to be able to provide another fantastic evening for them to enjoy and celebrate their amazing work, which we couldn’t host without the donations of our sponsors’.
