What an amazing evening at the Queens Hotel in Leeds last Friday for the LLG Awards 2016. The glitz and the glamour was in abundance and spirits were high despite the travel chaos many had to endure.

Huge congratulations to everyone who took part and credit to the winners and runners up especially, who showcased outstanding practice and commitment in their nominations. With so many people staying, the evening went into the small hours with an impressive array of styles showcased on the dance floor and entertaining conversations held forging networks between colleagues.
