Amanda Hargreaves, Co-founder of the manchester PA network comments:

“We are incredibly proud to recognise the outstanding work PAs and EAs do each day and it has been wonderful to see members of the Manchester PA Network amongst this year’s winners.

As nominations grew to their highest we have seen many non-members become involved across the Greater Manchester business community. It is incredibly exciting to see how the Awards grow each year.”

Matt Johnson hosted the evening, with a special guest appearance from Manchester poet Tony Walsh who recited ‘This Is The Place’, in tribute to the victims and those affected by the Manchester Arena bombing. The evening’s entertainment was the outstanding RPJ Band.

The Awards evening also hosted a raffle, with profits benefitting The Christie Charity. The total raised for the charity was over £5000.

 

Gillian Owen, Manager at Robert Walters Manchester, comments:

We are unbelievably proud of the awards this year. We had more nominations than ever before, making it extremely difficult to choose a shortlist and ultimately pick the winners.”
