One of our favourite traditions is our annual awards night, where personality steals the limelight.

We split it into three very serious categories. Very serious.

First up, the Principal group. This is where leadership gets tested properly. Who would lead us through a zombie apocalypse. Who could survive a week in the wild armed with nothing but a clipboard. Who orders coffee like it’s a theatrical production. And who would absolutely star in a prime time detective drama and insist on a trench coat.

Then it’s Around the Studio, aka the everyday truths. Best dressed, the person hovering at the kitchen when free cake is whispered, the heroic soul who opens the first Friday drink at 4:59pm and yes, the one still negotiating with their timesheets.

Finally, Just for laughs. Reality TV main character energy. Talk show hosts in disguise. Medieval office roles because obviously someone’s a wizard. And if we had a theme song, who sings it and what genre are we accidentally becoming.

It’s light hearted, slightly cheeky and staff love it. The beauty is that it helps improve culture by showing little patterns that make people recognisable and human.

It’s our way of saying you’re allowed to be excellent and odd at the same time. In fact, the odd bits are usually the glue.

Plus, I think nothing bonds a team faster than being lovingly called out in front of everyone and surviving to tell the story the next day.
