2023 Winner:
Allison Winton
Allison Winton has dedicated an incredible 39 years of service to the RMS as a member of staff, working tirelessly to bring a large number of RMS events to fruition. Allison is familiar to many involved with the RMS as she has been the public face of the Society for many years, working on exhibitions and finally as Chief Executive.
Her encyclopaedic knowledge of the Society is un-paralleled and will be greatly missed.
