WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Congratulations to all our winners and those highly commended!

On Tuesday 29 April we joined together at the Ham Yard Hotel to celebrate the first ever PRWeek People and Places Awards.

The night consisted of sparkling drinks, delicious food, networking and honouring the leaders, teams, and workplaces shaping the future of communications across the UK and Europe.

This year’s entries impressed our judges with their passion, dedication, and impact on the industry. After careful review, our expert panel selected the top talent and organisations across 21 categories, from rising stars to seasoned leaders, and specialist roles to top-performing organisations. 


Congratulations to all the winners!
