Catherine Holmes, Senior Project Manager was a finalist and runner up in the recent APM Project Management Awards 2016

– “Mike Nichols award for inspiration” sponsored by the Nichols Group.

Catherine’s entry described how she managed her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment as a project, whilst working on equipping the largest PFI in Europe; Barts Health NHS Trust. She was up against Nottingham City Council’s transformation project ‘Good to Great’ and Transport for London with their 4 Lines Modernisation project. Tough competition from very large organisations and should be congratulated.

‘All of the finalist’s entries were fascinating and very deserving of recognition. All members of the judging panel remarked on how difficult it was to select a winner and how there was a lot to be learnt from all the incredible work and achievements of all of the finalists.

Reading about your bravery and imagination in the face of such a significant challenge was hugely inspiring, and you showed incredible amounts of creativity in how you chose to guide yourself through your journey.’
