Richard Hartley-Parkinson, Executive Editor of Metro, said: ‘Congratulations to all the winners and those who were highly commended at the 2025 Metro Pride Awards.
British corporations also won awards, with British Airways taking home Brand of the Year and Wickes receiving Business of the Year.
Pop Idol winner Will Young was chosen as Metro’s Music Hero of the Year.
‘There will be people who want to detract from the awards with comments like “how many awards ceremonies do these people need”.
The winners, as well as those who were highly commended, were decided by a mixture of a public vote by readers and a judging panel.
