Around 800 guests attended this years’ hugely successful Hr NETWORK National Awards gala dinner 2016 taking place in Glasgow last night which saw award wins for organisations including – Scottish & Southern Energy, Barclays, Virgin Money and Scottish Rugby.

The Awards, which are regarded as ‘The’ HR and people development & management awards in Scotland produced winners across 17 categories which also included an Outstanding Contribution to Scottish HR award for ACAS’ Scottish Director Frank Blair following a 30 year career with the employment relations service which provides impartial advice, mediation, conciliation and dispute resolution to employers and employees across Scotland, which was presented by category sponsors Hudson.

Scotland’s leading TV and radio presenter Stephen Jardine once again hosted the Awards gala dinner, his 10th year in the job and the organisers conjured up a magic theme to add to the excitement of the hugely anticipated annual event.
