This November we gathered under the ornate ceilings and splendid chandeliers of Plaisterers’ Hall to celebrate our industry, true craft and the pursuit of excellence. Our guests were welcomed into our opening drinks reception sponsored by DRPG with festive twinkling lights and a glass of fizz!
We then opened the doors to the main ballroom and guests took their seats as singer Hannah Brown sang to them from the balcony.
Our host Neil Hudson-Basing then kicked off the ceremony itself. Neil introduced each of our categories and announced our winners, and we screened clips from the highest-ranking pieces of work as their makers received their trophies onstage!
Our guests then enjoyed a delicious three course meal, before they celebrated their successes, posing in front of the Glambot which was sponsored by ACrew4U and dancing the night away to the sounds of The Party Professors – back this year by popular demand!
It was a pleasure to spend such a wonderful evening with our members, partners and friends across the industry.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, to our illustrious judges for choosing our winners and to our amazing sponsors and partners – Chilled Agency, Tysers Live, CastleBell, Bridgeman Images, ACrew4U, DRPG, Cvent and Hire Frequencies. We couldn’t do any of this without all of you. Thank you for being part of this vital celebration of sector excellence.
