AXREM is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for three categories at the upcoming Trade Association Forum (TAF) Awards 2026, which will take place in February at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square.
The shortlist recognises AXREM’s commitment to delivering value to our members, driving transformation across the healthcare technology sector, and celebrating the outstanding contributions of our volunteers. The categories are:
-
Membership Engagement Award
-
Association Volunteer of the Year: Jeevan Gunaratnam
-
Best Association Transformation
We are especially proud that AXREM Vice Chair Jeevan Gunaratnam has been nominated for Association Volunteer of the Year. This recognition follows his completion of a remarkable three-and-a-half-year term serving as both Chair and Vice Chair of AXREM. Throughout this time, Jeevan has demonstrated unwavering commitment and dedication to the role, offering steadfast support to the AXREM staff team and our members, and helping to drive forward our mission with passion and integrity.
The TAF Awards are the leading awards recognising excellence across the UK association world. Held annually at prestigious venues, they shine a spotlight on associations that have gone above and beyond for their members, their industries, and the wider community.
Being shortlisted in three categories is a testament to the dedication of our members, volunteers, and partners, who continue to champion innovation, inclusivity and collaboration across the healthcare sector.
Sally Edgington, CEO of AXREM, said: “We are incredibly proud to be recognised by the Trade Association Forum in three categories this year. These nominations reflect the collective efforts of our members, our team, and our volunteers, especially Jeevan Gunaratnam, whose contributions has been truly inspiring. This recognition reinforces our commitment to driving transformation and ensuring our members’ voices are heard at every level.”
The winners will be announced at the prestigious awards ceremony in February 2026, bringing together associations from across the UK to celebrate achievements and share best practice.
