Incisive Media celebrates its people and products

20 Jan 2012

The Incisive Media Awards party at the Troxy last night turned the spotlight on the company's top people and products.

The fabulous Art Deco Troxy provided the perfect backdrop to the Incisive Media Awards as the company celebrated the achievements of its people and products in 2011. Awards were presented in 23 catgeories that threw the spotlight on the many success stories right across the company from the launch of the BJP iPad App to the behind-the-scenes work of the Facilities team. There are awards for staff in New York and Asia as well as the UK.

"Our people – you – make Incisive Media what it is and I want to thank each and every one of you for your contribution to making sure that 2011 – despite all the external pressures – was another successful year for Incisive Media", CEO Tim Weller (pictured) told over 500 staff as he introduced the awards. His words were echoed by fellow awards presenter, Group Managing Director James Hanbury: "It may have been a tough year but the shortlists show what fantastic people, teams and products we have – and just how proud you are of all of them. There was a huge amount of enthusiasm for entering the awards and the judges had a really tough time in deciding on the finalists and the winners."
