The event attracted more than 500 attendees and was hosted by Alastair Campbell. The PRCA UK National Awards were postponed as an in-person event last year due to COVID-19.
PRCA director general Francis Ingham said: “Congratulations to each of our winners and finalists! Over the past 12 months, our industry has proved its enormous reliance, importance, and power. Last night’s PRCA UK National Awards was an exclamation mark on its roaring return.”
