Review EN Supplier Awards success Congratulations to all of the winners and everyone who entered T he EN Supplier Awards was a resounding success, with winners across 15 categories and hundreds from the industry turning up to celebrate. The winners were announced on 12 December at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel. Among the headline winners were Creative Hire, scooping three awards including Best Customer Service Team, and GES, taking home two awards, including Best Design and Build Company. Saul Leese, editor of Exhibition News, opened the event with a speech highlighting the significance of suppliers within the event industry: “Suppliers deserve widespread industry recognition. Suppliers are the catalysts for change, and all too often they have to finance this change off their own backs, while delivering incredible events. The EN Suppliers Awards recognise and support these efforts by ensuring that this industry knows exactly which companies are making a real difference in the events industry today.” Portfolio director Duncan Siegle added: “Each year we are astounded by the sheer talent of the suppliers and contractors within our industry, and it’s great to get the opportunity to come together and celebrate that talent.” EN January — 51
