Winners revealed at North West regional CIPR PRide Awards

The annual CIPR North West PRide Awards took place last night (29 November), celebrating and awarding communications and public relations professionals from across the North West.

This year’s awards dinner was held at the Monastery, Manchester, where around 300 guests gathered for a black tie gala event hosted by special guest, former Smiths drummer Mike Joyce. The PRide awards are sponsored nationally by Precise, PRWeek, and Specialist Speakers, with regional sponsorship for the North West from PRNewswire, Markettiers 4DC, Huntress Group, ST16, Direct Impact, and Joe Gardner Photography.

26 gold awards were handed out to 16 different winners, all of whom have been judged as the best in the region by their peers. Three special individual awards were presented on the night for ‘Outstanding Young Communicator’, awarded to Emma Cameron of Havas PR; ‘Best Freelance Practitioner’ which was given to Hilary Berg MCIPR; and Amanda Coleman MCIPR was honoured as the ‘Outstanding PR Professional’ in the North West area.

Consultancies and public relations teams picking up awards included Pelican PR who took home three gold awards and one silver; Stockport Council who collected three golds including the top prize for ‘Outstanding In-House Public Relations Team’; and Brazen PR who were named as the ‘Outstanding Public Relations Consultancy’ amongst their three gold awards. IAS b2b Marketing picked up the most gold awards on the night collecting four, including the award for ‘Best Event’ for the music festival IAStival.
