CTSI Hero Awards 2023

About the Awards

Now in its 18th year, the CTSI Hero Awards take place on Wednesday 22 November 2023 at the House of Commons.

The CTSI Hero Awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate remarkable individuals or groups of people who make outstanding contributions towards consumer protection in our communities and safeguarding business to ensure a level playing field. Every year, we are inspired by the stories of nominees throughout the country whose bravery, altruism and hard work often goes unnoticed.

Previous Heroes include Trading Standards officers, scam victims, charity workers, business owners and even sniffer dogs! All are nominated by colleagues and partners within the consumer protection landscape.

This award is your chance to honour those remarkable people who have gone the extra mile for consumers. 

Please nominate your hero!
