Will Mellor, who attended last year’s awards to present an auction prize, said: “I’m really pleased to have been asked back, and this time to present these fantastic awards. Last year was a wonderful opportunity to find out about the amazing support of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, and it’s clear that everyone involved in the work of the charity is massively passionate about it.
