Surrey Heath Borough Council Officer Receives The John Tucker Memorial Award


Environmental Health Officer Justine Fuller has been awarded the John Tucker Memorial Award for the best Student Environmental Health Officer in Surrey.
The Award, introduced in 1993, is given annually and on a joint basis by the Surrey Chief Environmental Health Officer’s (CEHO) Group and the Surrey Branch of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CEH).

The Award takes two forms, a monetary prize in the form of a cheque donated by the Surrey Branch and an engraved silver salver which is retained by the successful candidate donated by Surrey CEHO’s Group.

Prior to joining Surrey Heath Borough Council Justine worked for various hotel companies around Europe in a variety of management roles. It was during this time that Justine chose to take her education and career in the path of Food Safety and Health and Safety.

Justine holds a 2:1 Bsc (hons) in Hotel and Catering Management, which she gained from the University of Surrey. She then continued her education with the University of Birmingham where she graduated this year with an Msc in Environmental Health.

Surrey Heath Borough Council offers staff the opportunity to learn and train whilst gaining experience in the field of Environmental Health. It is a career that is rewarding and varied with no two days the same.

Cllr.
