The awards ceremony took place on Tuesday 23 June at Rewley House in Wellington Square, Oxford.

The Partner of the Year award recognises individuals, departments and external collaborators whose service, commitment and support have not only enabled Oxford Lifelong Learning's work but have also made a significant contribution to its wider success.

In addition to Tom's individual award, the MSc in Surgical Science and Practice and the PGCert in Patient Safety and Quality Improvement programmes team was shortlisted in the Team of the Year category. This award celebrates teams that demonstrate outstanding collaboration, shared commitment and collective achievement, making a lasting impact through their work. The nominated team comprised Tom Revington, Olivia Lounsbury and Dione Brandt.

Following nominations from students and staff, an independent judging panel selected the shortlisted nominees and winners, taking into account both the number of nominations received and the strength of the supporting statements.

Launched in 2023, the OLLIE Awards recognise the outstanding work, dedication and commitment of colleagues who champion the Oxford Lifelong Learning's mission, vision and values.
