JMK Solicitors were delighted to sponsor the Business Category at the 2024 Northern Ireland Road Safety Awards held during road safety week.
The Northern Ireland Road Safety Awards, now in their tenth year, are organised by Road Safe NI Charity in conjunction with NI’s largest accident management company, CRASH Services.
Northern Ireland’s road safety champions were officially recognised for their contribution to helping improve road safety in their communities. The winners at Northern Ireland’s Road Safety Awards 2024 included individuals, organisations, and special projects from across the voluntary, education, emergency service, public and business sectors.
A total of 12 awards were presented at a lunchtime event attended by more than 100 specially invited guests to the Belfast Castle on Friday 15th November 2024. Winning the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award was Constable Stephen Dickson from PSNI Collision Investigation unit. He collected his award from Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd MLA.
Davy Jackson from Road Safe NI said “We had a fantastic response to the awards again, with a record number of entries. We are delighted to play our part in recognising those who go the extra mile to promote road safety.
The winning entries really stood out for their commitment over a long period of time and for delivering innovative projects. There is so much good work going on across our schools, local communities, emergency services and businesses. The award winners are an inspiration to others, and there is no question their efforts are saving lives on the road.”
Maurece Hutchinson, Managing Director of JMK Solicitors commented, “As NI’s Number 1 Personal Injury Solicitors, we are delighted to continue supporting the Road Safety Awards which recognise the contribution of individuals and organisations who have worked hard to improve road safety across NI.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the nominees and winners including the Business Category winner, Barry Douglas, Magowan Tyres, for your dedicated and ongoing commitment to road safety.”
