Awards organisers, GCN Events, were delighted to congratulate all the winners of the 3rd annual Awards Awards.

These awards were created to celebrate the hard work, effort and enthusiasm that those behind the scenes in the awards industry put in to make sure their product is a fantastic experience for their clients. It gives these event professionals a chance to come out from behind the curtain and celebrate their successes.  

In a ceremony co-located with the Charity Event Awards, they were announced to 250+ event and awards professionals on 17th May at etc.venues 133 Houndsditch.

“It was a wonderful occasion and a fabulous chance to recognise and celebrate the expertise, hard work and creativity that goes into making a successful awards event. We would like to thank all of our fantastic array of entrants and also all our judges, who have taken time out of their busy day jobs to lend us their expertise and wisdom.”
