Prestigious National Bravery Award Winners Honoured with Medals Designed by Sheffield Assay Office
Published: 18th November 2024
Sheffield Assay Office has proudly designed gold-plated, solid silver medals for the courageous recipients of the National Police Chiefs Council’s annual Police Public Bravery Awards. The medals were produced by British Silverware in Sheffield.
The prestigious awards took place last Thursday, 14 November, at Cutlers’ Hall in Sheffield. The ceremony honoured members of the public who put themselves at risk in order to protect others, prevent crime, or assist the police.
Pictured is gold medal winner, HGV Driver, Mr Stephen Kelly, who went to the aid of a mother being attacked by an uncontrolled and powerful bull breed dog in Doncaster on Thursday 17 August 2023.
Gold medal winners also included Melanie Smith, who jumped into a river in Doncaster centre to save a man in crisis who was in imminent danger of drowning.
Recipients also included Ann Wicks, who saved the life of a schoolgirl who'd been stabbed, and Robert Bray, who prevented a woman from being attacked by a man wielding a hammer, sustaining injuries himself in the process.
The heroic citizens were honoured with a presentation of beautiful gold-plated, solid silver medals created by Sheffield Assay Office.
The Office was delighted to support the awards and the members of the public who so selflessly put themselves in harm's way in order to save the lives of others.
