So, if you would like to have your say in who will be presented with the Winner’s Trophies at the Gala Awards Dinner on 14th March at the Hilton at St George’s Park Hotel, Burton-on-Trent, be sure to cast your vote.
Places are still available at this ‘not to be missed event’ so whether it’s taking a table to host customers or booking a few seats for you, your team and partners, don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to enjoy a wonderful evening of great food, fine wine, fantastic entertainment and that all-important networking until the early hours, when our now infamous ‘survivors’ breakfast’ will be served.
To help deliver the 23rd staging of this key industry awards ceremony, we will this year be joined by Martin Bayfield, one of the most recognisable faces in British Rugby. At 6'10" Martin Bayfield was one of the tallest players in rugby, a gift he used to full advantage as one of England's most potent forwards. He enjoyed a successful international career, winning 31 England caps and two Grand Slams. He played in the World Cup in South Africa and was selected to represent the British Lions in New Zealand.
Since retiring, his height helped win him the part of Robbie Coltrane's body double as the giant Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, and he is now an established member of the commentary teams for BBC, ITV, Channel Five and BT Sport.
Places can be booked online at www.pumpindustryawards.com/book-tickets, and with a record number of tables booked already, it’s looking to be a great event.
