Managing Director at Creative Circle, Jeremy Green comments: “Firstly, congratulations to all our well-deserved winners! Whilst we hadn’t expected to be hosting our show virtually at the start of this year, we are so glad to have still had the opportunity to celebrate the best of UK creativity and make it free to view for everyone. This year is one the industry won’t forget in a hurry. It has not only presented unforseen social, political and financial challenges but it has put the way we run our businesses and employ talent under much needed closer scrutiny. Our creative industries must keep connecting - even if it must be virtually - to learn, grow and survive this pandemic. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate my opening speech - I invite anyone and everyone who wants to help us move forward and support the next generation of creatives to get in touch. ”

The Creative Circle pledged 10% of all award entry fees and 100% of membership fees to support greater diversity in the creative departments of the future through the Creative Circle Foundation.
