The annual award ceremony of the Philatelic Traders Society (PTS) was recently held online, with Suzanne Rae, the society’s Managing Director receiving the Ambassador of the Year award.
Suzanne, who recently moved from her position of PTS Chairman, won the award for her ‘creative ideas, drive and vision’ with her nomination stating: “Suzanne is I believe the force behind the very positive actions and achievements that we are seeing within the hobby. Someone had to light the candle of hope and lead the way, a role she has done superbly and with courage and charisma.”
