The 2021 Collaborative Awards
Date: Thursday 16th December 2021
Venue: Online
Sponsored by: BSI
Due to changes in Covid rules we were unable to hold our annual awards at the House of Lords. However, as we wanted to recognise those organisations that presented some great submissions for the 2021 awards, we were, with the support of BSI, able to quicky move to an online webinar format. On the plus side it meant we could open the event to a much wider audience.
We are very proud to announce the 2021 ICW Collaborative Awards winners.
