The cHeRries Awards 2026, in association with Mattioli Woods, are officially open for entries and nominations!
This year we’re celebrating 10 award categories, including our brand-new honour: HR Student of the Year. You’ll find full entry criteria, category details and sponsor information on our website: www.cherriesawards.co.uk.
The cHeRries team can’t wait to hear your stories - the triumphs, the teamwork, the breakthroughs and bright ideas that have shaped your last 12 months. Share the people and moments that make you and your organisation shine.
Although the awards evening takes place in Aberdeen, entries are warmly welcomed from HR, training, recruitment, academic institutions and organisational effectiveness professionals across Scotland. Wherever you work, if you’re helping people and organisations thrive, these awards are for you.
Entries close Sunday 25 January, so there’s plenty of time - but the best entries start with a spark of inspiration, so begin crafting yours now.
We look forward to receiving your nominations, and please do share the news through your networks.
Let’s make 2026 the year Scotland’s HR stars take centre stage.
