Seventeen Events were delighted to be involved in this high profile event again which was this year held at the Room by the River on the South Bank.
The prestigious awards, produced in partnership with The Guardian, are a celebration of the country’s most innovative recruitment marketing ads. Seventeen managed all aspects of the event, from the judging days where a panel of specialist judges marked the entries across 19 categories over a vigorous four day period, through to the ceremony itself.
The evening began with a champagne reception, accompanied by live music and a magician, followed by a three course meal and of course the awards ceremony itself, which this year was hosted by Alan Davies. DJ Sean Rowley from Guilty Pleasures then took the guests on an 80’s pop crusade late into the night. For those guests who wanted to try their luck further there was a selection of American style casino tables, all proceeds from which were donated to Cancer Research UK, a category sponsor of the night.
Some comments from members of the Awards steering group:
“A fab night! Everything looked great and I thought the atmosphere was really good. Superbly organised!”
“Thank you so much for such a great event last night. Loved the host, good venue, great food. Terrific atmosphere. Thanks as ever for your hard work and quality input as ever.”
“The Awards ceremony was slickly executed & well paced”
