Huge congratulations to all this year’s winners, and our heartfelt thanks to headline sponsor United Trust Bank, who were absolutely tireless in helping ensure everything looked its best and ran smoothly.
We're also deeply grateful to all those who generously sponsored individual awards and raffle prizes, and to the 240 guests who made the most of this excellent opportunity to catch up and network with new and not-so-new faces, and who stayed on at the Hilton Bankside afterwards to make the 'small hours' feel massive. It was really good to see you all again.
