Cllr Lashbrook said: "It is a huge privilege to be in this role, I hope that through my term I will have a lot more involvement with organisations such as the Pride of Andover Awards.

"Please come forward, recognition is so important for those who think of others above themselves, nominating someone is so worthwhile, so please nominate."

During the recent launch of the 2023 Pride of Andover Awards, Andrew Bulpitt from Bulpitt Print added: "We have sponsored the Awards for many many years, being a local community business it is always good to put back into the community, it is a great honour that the team have given the opportunity to support us and enable us to sponsor the Mayor's Award.

"The Pride of Andover Awards really shows what a fantastic community we have with some superb people that go over and above their daily jobs for others."

Regarding nominations, Andrew has a message to the community: "Get nominating, friends, relatives, husbands, wives, partners, look at what they do and make sure you describe what they do in great detail, make sure you put some good effort into those words when you are nominating, make sure you make it a good one as these people could win an award.
