cHeRries Awards 2022

The cHeRries Awards 2022 took place at P&J Live last night – and our photographers were there to capture pictures of the whole thing.

The best and brightest in the world of HR came together to enjoy themselves at the glittering ceremony.

There were 10 prizes given out to recognise the hard work, dedication and commitment from the HR professionals across the region.

We’ve put together this gallery from the night, which was backed by sponsors Mattioli Woods, so take a look through and see if you can spot yourself (or your friends, family or colleagues).

Before the event

Our photographers took a couple of shots of the venue before the evening started.
