House of Fisher Celebrates a Double Shortlisting at Thames Valley Awards!

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news – House of Fisher has been shortlisted for not one but two prestigious awards at this year’s Thames Valley Business and Community Awards! 

Our company has been recognised as the Employer of the Year, and our MD, Trine Oestergaard-Stafford, has been shortlisted as Business Leader of the Year

A Record-Breaking Year for Nominations

With a record-breaking 1,580+ nominations across the board – 147 in the Employer category and 143 in the Business Leader category – being among the few shortlisted for these honours truly highlights our exceptional impact on our community and industry.

Being recognised among such an outstanding group of businesses and leaders is a testament to the hard work, innovation, and commitment that House of Fisher and our leadership team bring to the table every day.

Leading from the Front

We are proud our Managing Director, Trine Oestergaard-Stafford, has been shortlisted for Business Leader of the Year. Trine has led from the front at House of Fisher for nearly ten years, spearheading our growth, leading us to industry awards, and creating an unbeatable culture for the team, affectionately known as the #HOFfamily. 

This has been further reflected by Trine’s inclusion on the ASAP Advisory Board of Directors, where she helps guide and lead our sector across the UK and globally.

Celebrating Excellence on 28th February

Mark your calendars for Friday, 28th February, as the awards ceremony will take place at The Hilton, Reading. The night promises an evening of black-tie elegance, live entertainment, motivational speakers, and inspiring networking opportunities. 

Guests will be honoured to have British Paralympian Chris Skelley MBE as this year’s celebrity keynote speaker. A former World Number 1 and Paralympic Judo Champion, Chris’s inspirational journey – capped with a bronze medal win for Team GB at the Paris 2024 Olympics – is sure to set the tone for an unforgettable celebration.

A Heartfelt Congratulations

We couldn’t be prouder to share this exciting moment with all of you. Being recognised as an outstanding employer and celebrating Trine’s visionary leadership underscores our commitment to excellence and the incredible culture at House of Fisher. 

This recognition is not just a win for us but for our entire community, and we are honoured to have the opportunity to celebrate alongside so many remarkable nominees.

Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to a night of celebration, inspiration, and community spirit! Wishing good luck to all involved and shortlisted on the night.
