Winners of the prestigious Event Production Awards were announced at the Lancaster London Hotel last night (1st April).

Around 460 event professionals attended the awards, which recognise the best and the brightest in the events industry. They were entertained by the likes of comedian Romesh Ranganathan, DJs, and The Kahoonas.

The Access All Areas Editor’s Award went to Suzanne Bull MBE, who was commended for her pioneering work promoting accessibility at events, while Firefly was applauded for its efforts in creating a sustainable solution for the events industry with the Supplier of the Year Award.

Tom Hall, Access All Areas editor commented: "The awards were my first as editor, and it was inspiring to see the industry on top form, in one place. The venue, the entertainment - including the amazing Romesh - and the engagement was top notch.
