We are delighted that one of our Co- Founders has been selected as one of three finalists in the Ceva Animal Welfare Awards which celebrates its 5th anniversary this year. The awards are dedicated to individuals and teams who go above and beyond the call of duty for the welfare of animals and the awards allows Ceva the opportunity to thank them for their contribution. It is also a great platform to showcase the work that people do.
