The full list of judges has been announced for next year's In.Comms Corporate Affairs Awards, in partnership with PRWeek UK, which will take place in the luxurious surroundings of London’s Jumeirah Carlton Tower on 15 April.

As revealed by In.Comms previously, the judging will be co-chaired by Doyel Maitra, corporate affairs director, retail banking at NatWest, and Victoria Durman, global head of external communications at consumer healthcare company Haleon. They will help guide their panel to shine a spotlight on those entries that most represent outstanding achievement across corporate and financial comms, public affairs, pharma and healthcare PR, and more. 

Now in their third year, the awards celebrate the best campaigns, projects, agencies, in-house teams and individuals across more than 30 categories spanning corporate, city, pharma, public affairs, and more.
