Two staff from the West Midlands Ambulance Service Finance Department received prestigious nominations for national awards recently.
Remone Williams and Rob Lampitt were recognised for their work at the annual One NHS Finance Value Maker Conference.
The event sees staff from NHS Finance meet to share learning and best practice and recognises achievements within NHS finance nationally.
There are 100’s of nominations from across the country so to have two WMAS staff reach the finals is a huge achievement. I couldn’t be happier as they both richly deserve the recognition.
Both consistently demonstrate a willingness to assist and support their colleagues, creating a positive impact on team dynamics. Their commitment to wellbeing is evident in their consistent efforts to prioritise the mental and emotional health of their team members, fostering a positive work environment that promotes overall wellbeing.
The nominations were assessed by an independent panel made up of finance professional from across the country. Remone was not only nominated but was also the overall winner in his category and was presented with his award by Susanne Robinson (Chief Finance Officer at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust).

The award recognises an individual who demonstrates a deep understanding of embracing and enabling change in their daily job. Remone is always keen to improve things for the better designing new systems, recording webinars or hosting training to ensure all staff are comfortable with the process and, if needed, book 1-2-1 sessions. He is a credit to the team and the NHS.

Whether it’s supporting the ambulance service Commonwealth Games operation, managing the roll-out of the Trust flu programme or moving the entire team into a new location, Rob gets straight in there and comes up with practical solutions. Based on strong leadership, excellent planning, and communication skills, Rob leads with pride and compassion and as a result his team receive endless thank you messages.
