‘The workplace awards have one purpose – recognising teams who not only care for animal health, animal welfare or public health, but who also care for their own people,’ stressed FVE Vice President Mette Uldahl, at the occasion of the 50th anniversary event of the FVE held in Brussels on 4 December. ‘When our people thrive, so does our profession.’
