After tough times, we’re looking for Reasons to be Cheerful, 1, 2, 3. Well, actually 4 (apologies to Ian Dury and the Blockheads for that one!).

We’re excited to be celebrating with our amazing clients after being shortlisted in the latest Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC) Central and North Awards – with three projects shortlisted four times over three categories: Writing; Design; and Best Newspaper/Newsletter.

Being shortlisted is a great acknowledgement of the hard work and creativity delivered in close collaboration with our clients during testing times. The ongoing strength of the trusted relationships with our clients and partners is at the heart of this, and we look forward to continuing to deliver in the years ahead.

Tom Abbott, 44 Communications Managing Partner, said: “I’m proud of the achievements of our team and the clients we partner with. This is a fantastic recognition of their commitment to creativity, quality and meeting the needs of employees across a wide range of organisations.”

An Awards Dinner is planned later in March, where the winners will be announced. Here’s hoping we can celebrate even further.
