Brent LBC

Brent is the UK’s most diverse borough – a borough of cultures – with a mix of challenges and opportunities as varied as the population we serve. From building new council homes to building community cohesion and resilience, everything we do is focused on improving the lives of local people. Operating from the UK’s greenest public sector building, we’ve taken great strides to clean up our streets, all while achieving our best ever Ofsted rating. We work closely with partners and have reduced homelessness and violent crime. We are a pioneering council, delivering for residents, whose story is ready to be told.

We understand the importance of everything you do. At Zurich Municipal, we are committed to protecting the public and voluntary sectors and to keeping our promises. With over 25 years’ experience, we offer the peace of mind that comes with our heritage and financial stability. Our full end to end, in-house team gives you everything you need – from experts who can help you prevent problems before they can occur, to claims and major loss specialists who will get you back up and running, should an incident interrupt your vital work.

This award is only open to a council or, in exceptional circumstances, a partnership of councils. The winner of this award will be the council which, on the basis of sustained performance, has the most learning to offer other councils. The winner will be able to demonstrate a level of excellence and innovation that takes its work well beyond basic service provision. We seek to stress that this award is not about size, or about any natural advantages that a council might enjoy due to its location, but about the delivery of quality outcomes and community leadership, and a council doing the best for its area.
