Michael Willis, chief executive of Westcountry Ambulance Service said: ?Westcountry Ambulance Service staff work extremely hard in what can often be difficult or traumatic situations. It is therefore right that their hard work and effort is recognised and celebrated.
?While some staff are receiving hard earned qualifications, others are being recognised for their long service and good conduct. All are equally deserving and should be proud of their achievements.?
