We’re thrilled to announce we’ve been acknowledged in the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Midlands PRide Awards for our work with the Police Uplift Programme.

We were awarded Silver in the Internal Communications Campaign category for our contribution to the programme’s Safe to Say Campaign, which is about sharing personal information, and building trust and confidence in this area so colleagues are more likely to share their details and as a result help improve services.

The awards celebrate talent in the public relations sector and the Midlands event took place virtually earlier this month, so we all dressed-up and dialled-in to be a part of the celebrations.

Tom Abbott, Managing Partner at 44 Communications, said: “It’s brilliant to have secured this win because it shows how our work is making a difference to our clients and their colleagues. It’s great that the bold assets and bespoke approach created for this project have been recognised at such a coveted award ceremony.”

Anna Nagle from the CIPR Awards team said: “Congratulations! Your work has been judged among the best in your region by leading PR experts and to win an award is a fantastic achievement.”
