The last eighteen months have been tough and we have seen many of our colleagues innovate and pivot during the pandemic. Our hearts were full however when we saw the true meaning of “Teamwork makes the dreamwork” when we saw how teams pulled together and made such a massive effort to stay engaged with their customers and followers. We were equally thrilled to see a few new businesses open their “doors ” either online or in person. The landscape of the industry has changed and all of our working dynamics have strengthened like we never thought possible. With this in mind we have added additional categories including team of the year 2021
