Here’s the shortlist for this year’s Home Delivery Awards

After weeks of counting, the shortlist for the Press & Journal and Evening Express Home Delivery Awards has been confirmed.

Launched in September, the initiative – sponsored by Graham’s family dairy – aims to recognise our paper boys and girls who brave all weathers to ensure our home delivery customers get their newspaper on time.

The final winners from across the north-east and highlands will be announced at an awards ceremony at our Marischal Square office on Sunday November 3.

Nearly 1,000 votes were cast during the month-long nomination period where readers were invited to recognise the efforts of their delivery person across the three categories.

The named shortlisted will be competing for either the top prize or highly-commended runner-up.

A customer of Georgia Loch, who delivers the Evening Express in Mastrick, said: “She is most reliable, delivering at the same time each day. Very diligent.”
