TRIDENT Communications' York-based office stepped up to collect a raft of prizes in the Communicators in Business Northern Awards, held at the Cavern Club in Liverpool.

The internal communications specialist took the top prize, the Communication Of The Year for Trackside magazine, which it wrote, designed and produced for client Select Service Partners. Despite record levels of entries, the York team once again trounced the opposition, enjoying success with awards of excellence in the newspaper, news magazine, design and electronic publication categories.

Andy Douse, manager of Trident Communications North, said: "We're proud of our work for clients and delighted to be winning top awards within our industry.

"Leading organisations are increasingly recognising the benefits of communicating with internal audiences to help bottom line results.

"It felt great to lift that trophy in front of all our biggest rivals, proving once again that we are the agency to beat in the North."
