The Henries 2017
Ooh La La! The Henries Awards really did have a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ this year. Almost 700 members of the greeting card community were there to enjoy the Parisian-themed ‘big night’ which saw the industry’s ‘esprit de corps’ out in force. PG shares a flavour of the wonderful event.
