Staff honoured at regional publisher’s annual awards

A regional publisher has honoured staff at its annual awards ceremony.

The Archant Awards, held in Norwich, were attended by over 250 finalists and colleagues from around the business.

Hundreds of entries were received from across the business, with 12 gongs up for grabs.

Among the winners were the company’s pro-European Union newspaper The New European, which won Project of the Year, and Emma Youle, from the company’s central investigations unit, who won Best Content of the Year.

The Archie of the Year prize, which celebrates contributions from Archant employees who have “significantly moved the company closer to becoming the best local media company in the UK,” was won by John Ford, Archant’s director of production.

Dee Willmott, Archant’s chief HR and development officer, said: “Each year, the Archant Awards provides us with a wonderful opportunity to focus on and celebrate the extraordinary achievements and excellence of our employees right across the business.

“We have some great products and brands but it is our people who make the real difference – whether they work on the front line delivering products and services to our customers, or behind the scenes helping to make it all possible.”
