THE INDEPENDENT AWARDS 2022

A huge thank you to everyone who tuned in to join the Independent Awards 2022 LIVE on 8th December. An even bigger thank you to our incredible Finalists, Winners and Runners-up. It was an absolute thrill to not only recognise, honour and celebrate your talent and hard work, but also to give away £100,000 to help support small businesses. What a wonderful opportunity it was to come together as a community too, and raise a glass to all we have collectively achieved.

Thanks again to our sponsors Dell Technologies, Royal Mail, Adobe Express and Avon.
