The Institute of Revenues Rating and Valuation (IRRV) is the professional body for local taxation, benefits and valuation. These awards celebrate the performance of organizations and partnerships working in government and commerce and are especially important this year given the challenges faced by COVID.

Over the past few years, we’ve worked together and used industry best practice to challenge traditional approaches and improve collection rates, with great success. I look forward to the final and wish best of luck to everyone for the night!”

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council’s Benefits, Taxation & Income Manager, Lucie White, added: “To be shortlisted for this award is an outstanding achievement for Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. Working with arum has enabled us to explore and create innovative opportunities that have driven forward the right improvements at the right time for us and our customers.
