“As always we’re working on producing a night like no others in the trade sector with our usual eclectic mix of entertainment and some surprises.

“Thanks to everyone who has taken their time to produce entries for the awards this year, and I looking forward to seeing you all on the night.”

Individual awards including Rising Brand of the Year, Brand of the Year, and the prestigious Travolution Achievement Award will be announced on the night.
