More than 120 internal communicators professionals gathered in Leicester for the annual IoIC Central & North Awards on Friday evening.
Awards were presented across 20 categories including video, strategy and publications and represented the very best in internal communications in practice.
Rich Baker and Andy Holt, IoIC Central and North regional directors, hosted the event, with Lesley Allman as compere and Steve Doswell, IoIC chief executive, presenting awards.
Rich Baker says: “It’s clear that the most enlightened organisations are investing in internal communications and understand its value. Our awards are a great opportunity to reflect on good work and recognise people from all over the UK for delivering results. The Central and North regions are a powerhouse of talent - and growing every year!”
