Recognising excellence in civil enforcement

CIVEA Enforcement Industry Excellence Awards 2024

The Civil Enforcement Association’s industry awards showcase the best practices in the enforcement sector and spotlight exceptional performance.

The judges were keen to reward forward thinking, market-leading visions, or superior service standards that enhance the civil enforcement profession.

As an industry that operates discreetly under the radar, the Excellence Awards are an opportunity to embrace excellence and professionalism in the industry and celebrate success.

The event was held after the CIVEA Annual Conference in London. The ceremiony was hosted by Zoe Lyons, an award-winning comedian and a regular guest on TV and radio panel shows.
