A York communications agency has been presented with a trio of top awards by TV newscaster Sir Trevor McDonald at a glittering national awards ceremony.

Trident Communications, at Endeavour House, George Cayley Drive, Clifton Moor, won three awards of excellence at the 2005 Communicators in Business (CiB) awards staged at the Midland Hotel in Manchester.

The accolades were for the design of Yorkshire Water's in-house magazine, Connections, and for the design of the company's website magazine, Connections Online. The third award was for the design of Bradford College's in-house magazine, Penlines.

Andy Douse, regional director for Trident, said: "We're delighted with our performance in this year's awards. It's testament to the efforts of everyone here, and to the close working partnership we have with our clients.

"Our team has consistently managed to provide high-quality publications and media, despite going through one of the busiest periods in our history."
