"The Trade Union Comms Awards is always an inspiring moment in the TUC's calendar. It's a chance to look back over a year of campaign activity from our 48 unions. Helping our members voices be heard by employers and politicians. Equipping our reps and activists with the information they need to be effective. Union communicators and campaigners have risen to every challenge.
And we have new challenges for the coming year. A new government, a New Deal for working people, and a new chance to grow and strengthen all our unions. The potential is exciting for everyone that wants to see a real change. And I'm confident that our movement's communicators are equal to the task.
I'd like to thank our judges for their efforts in evaluating the entries and giving us the benefit of their collective professional experience across many different communications disciplines."
