How can we continue to appreciate NS Mark accredited companies at the Total Defence Awards without a physical event?

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 safe distancing measures, the format of Total Defence Awards was changed to a virtual event in 2020. To complement the online event, virtual zoom interviews were conducted pre-event to allow winners to share with the media their support for NS. Splash Productions, the PR arm for NS Mark, identified notable, accredited employers whose heartwarming stories were pitched to the media including all major publications (broadcast, print and online news outlets) that testified to the success of the NS Mark Scheme.
