Our annual ceremony, held on Thursday, November 7 at the Stadium of Light, honours the best in business across Wearside and County Durham. It was a real pleasure to spend the evening with the industry’s best, and our photographer was there to capture it all on camera. Check out our picture special and see if you recognise any of these smiling faces. We will be adding fresh pictures as the day goes on – please keep checking for yours!
