Guernsey’s Unsung Hero
Wednesday 7th May 2014Congratulations to Steve England, Captain of 2nd Guernsey Company who was nominated for the Unsung Hero award at the island’s Annual Awards for Achievement. The somewhat unique Unsung Hero award is based on a public vote recognising someone who has worked selflessly for the benefit of others within the community of the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
Steve was nominated along with five other worthy islanders and was surprised to hear that he had won the award which was presented at a ceremony, in front of some 750 dignitaries and island officials.
Steve said after receiving the award “I was absolutely shocked, speechless and humbled as I approached the stage to receive the award. It has given much publicity to the Company, the Battalion and other voluntary youth work in the island. I have acknowledged throughout, that the 2nd Guernsey’s success is very much down to the team effort of all my officers and helpers and the terrific support of our host church St Mary’s at L’Islet, and the wider BB family.”
