Following the success of last year, the Avanta Press Awards returned to celebrate the best and brightest employment and enterprise writing in the UK. The awards reflect Avanta’s position as one of the UK’s leading providers of employment services, as well as the prominence of the issue in today’s media. Journalists whose work best exhibits an understanding of the issues surrounding welfare, employment and enterprise were short-listed and the results were announced at the annual Avanta Awards Ceremony, held at the House of Commons on Tuesday 4th November.

The winners were: National media winner: Edward Fennell, The Times Regional media winner: Greg Wright, The Yorkshire Post Specialist media winner: Verity Gough, HR Zone and Training Zone Commenting on the Avanta Press Awards, Avanta’s Director of Business Development Alex Pollock said:
“The return of the Avanta Press Awards demonstrates that employment is an important issue in the media. We hope that these awards continue to encourage journalists to meet the highest standards when writing about the subject. Avanta’s work, through our delivery companies TNG and InBiz, provides solutions to issues which dominate the headlines, including getting people with health-related barriers back into work or self employment, therefore coverage of a range of employment issues is very relevant to us. As the Avanta Press Awards returned for a second year, we are sure that any journalist is proud to be associated with it.”
