Britain’s foremost gay events and publishing company, Square Peg Media, have published the results of their Reader’s Awards 2012 from Out In The City, the gay men’s lifestyle magazine. The voting took place online for one month over the Christmas period and Square Peg Media was delighted at the response.
The companies voted for serve the gay community in a number of ways, from clubs, bars and websites through to travel, housing, and charities such as The Terrence Higgins Trust and Stonewall, the political and human rights advocates.
The Readers’ Awards also highlighted the category of recruitment, won this year by Ernst & Young. Dan Richards, Head of Recruitment - UK & Ireland at Ernst & Young said "We're very proud to have been named Recruiter of the Year, an achievement that comes hot on the heels of us being named Stonewall's 2012 Employer of the Year. I want to thank everyone who voted for us, it's a great and welcome endorsement of the work we are doing." Linda Riley, CEO and founder of SPM said, “It was important for us to include recruitment because encouraging gay people within business is a strong focus across the Square Peg brand. For example, SPM’s latest product Out at Work, is aimed at gay college leavers and first jobbers and this gives us a forum to cement bonds with gay-friendly businesses and highlight them to the readership.”
