The cHeRries Awards 2023 took place at P&J Live in Aberdeen last night – and our photographers were there to capture pictures of the whole thing.

The best and brightest in the world of HR came together to enjoy themselves at the glittering ceremony.

There were 10 prizes given out to recognise the hard work, dedication and commitment from the HR professionals across the region.

We’ve put together this gallery from the night, which was backed by sponsors Mattioli Woods, so take a look through and see if you can spot yourself (or your friends, family or colleagues).

Before the event

Our photographers took a few shots of the venue before the evening started.

Drinks reception

The 2023 cHeRries Awards kicked off with a drinks reception, with guests arriving at the venue from 6.30pm.

This was the first opportunity for our photographers to capture the great and the good of the world of HR letting their hair down.
