Nicki Ramsbottom has been awarded “Unsung Hero of the Year” at the CIM’s East of England Regional Awards, part of the national CIM Volunteer Awards 2021. Nicki is the East of England’s Events Ambassador.

The CIM receives a considerable amount of goodwill and hard work from its volunteer community and the awards recognise and celebrate the efforts of individuals and teams.

East of England CIM Chair Marie Lake said: “Nicki has been a committed member of the Board for many years. Her versatility has been demonstrated by the wide range of roles she has performed, with great success and support to the Board.

“During the pandemic she has had limited scope to contribute as the Events Ambassador but grabbed the chance to support and mentor a team of CIM Marketing Club student volunteers at the University of Bedfordshire. The student volunteer role aims to raise awareness of the CIM among the university students. Thanks to Nicki, the volunteers have had the support they need to start their new roles, plus the confidence and know-how to optimise their activity, helping to meet the CIM’s local objectives. A huge well done and thank-you to Nicki.”

Nicki will be put forward to the national CIM Volunteer Awards 2021. The ceremony takes place online on Tuesday 20th July.
