We kicked off the 2015 Awards with our first-ever Trophy Tips session on Friday. Thanks to our judges and past winners who shared their wisdom and insights into what makes a winning entry. Special thanks to Matt Huntington from Deloitte, last year’s winner of the Plain English Champion: Best Organisation Award, for sharing Deloitte's inspiring plain English campaign.

Thanks to all of you who came too!
