There were special awards for Claire Moulds MCIPR who was honoured as the ‘Outstanding Freelance Practitioner of the Year’ and Elizabeth Hudson MCIPR who was named as the 'Outstanding Young Communicator' for her work with Barnsley-based agency Cream. Dee Marshall was gifted with a unique award for being the ‘Communicator of the Year’ for her work as the Head of Communications for 'Welcome to Yorkshire'.

After 10 years, the PRide Awards continue to highlight the best work of the region's talented individuals and agencies. Everyone nominated for an award tonight should be proud of their work and the contribution they have made to the region's economic success.
