The chair of the judges this year is Sophie Timms, corporate affairs director at listed construction business Kier Group. She said: “I am delighted and honoured to be chairing this year’s PRWeek Corporate, City & Public Affairs 2022 Awards. Often at the heart of an organisation and with so many crossovers between the three disciplines, it’s important to recognise the very best of the profession that deliver to an exceptional standard throughout the year.
“I am looking forward to working with my fellow judges and seeing the entries across the categories, which, I am sure, will be incredibly inspirational.”
The shortlist will be released on 18 January, with a virtual awards ceremony set for 9 March.
