Vehicle repair group Nationwide has rewarded its high achievers with an expenses-paid weekend of sun, celebration and Porsche Carrera Cup racing in Italy.

Although it supported Nationwide-backed Porsche racer Dino Zamparelli in round six of the race series, the trip marked the achievements of winners of the Nationwide Annual Awards, which recognises staff who demonstrate the ‘One Nationwide, One Team’ spirit and who’ve gone above and beyond to deliver excellent results for Nationwide and their customers.

Nationwide chief executive Michael Wilmshurst said: “The winners of these awards have shown incredible commitment to Nationwide, they have gone above and beyond to achieve fantastic results and are setting an excellent example to their fellow team members. I was delighted to host the winners in Monza, and what a well-deserved reward it was.”

Zamparelli took the race win on day one, and finished 2nd on day two.
