2022 Awards Night
The Awards Dinner took place on Wednesday 5th October at the DeVere Grand Connaught Rooms, London, to celebrate the forward-thinking organisations who have been judged our Winners. The presentation of Awards was also livestreamed for colleagues who could not be there in person.
"It was a tremendous event and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Love the video – it really captures the night. Looking forward to next year already!”D Mark Heasman, MBA. M.Eng, Group Chief Executive, Provide Community Interest Company
HR and other business leaders from more than 110 different organisations attended on the night, including the 90+ outstanding organisations who were shortlisted. It was an evening of celebration and laughter for all the teams present, whether in person or virtually, to reflect on their hard work and achievements, enabling Finalists and Judges to connect with like-minded professionals. Guests in London enjoyed an exquisite drinks reception and three course dinner.
The evening was hosted by best-selling author, radio presenter, TV regular, former-Church of England priest, and ex-Communards member, Reverend Richard Coles, who guests were delighted to see circulating at the reception and joining us for dinner. For the night's live musical entertainment, The Compilation brought a fabulous array of Pop, Funk & Soul hits, spanning all eras from the 60s to the present day. We sang and danced to Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, White Stripes, Stevie Wonder & many, many more.
"The event last week was fantastic and we were absolutely thrilled with the recognition! I appreciate you sending promotional assets along with judging comments: these not only help us share the win, but also bring back a few learnings for our future initiatives.”Isabelli Moreira (She/Her), Employer Brand Strategist, Personio
The Business Culture Awards events seek to be as inclusive as possible and we always welcome suggestions as to how we can do this better. The Awards Night is a celebration but we appreciate that there's no one size fits all and people love to celebrate differently. We had a number of designated quieter spaces at the venue (Burr & Co and The Snug) and a prayer space (Hospitality Suite), available throughout the evening; while those who couldn't attend in person were able to watch a livestream of the Awards. Special dietary and beverage requests were fully catered for and we appreciate that while some enjoy alcohol, others prefer not. We promoted an inclusive dress code for the evening, and asked guests to come how they would most comfortably dress for a celebratory evening event. There are so many wonderful styles of dress, including black tie and we wanted guests to share those stories with us!
We were delighted to announce this year's Winners.
