The fun-packed black tie evening includes a drinks reception, a three course meal, the awards ceremony itself, a charity auction and raffle with fantastic prizes to be won, entertainment, late night snacks and a lively DJ with drinks flowing until 1am.
About The Host - Paul Evers
Paul has been a top host for 25 years with a reputation for his dynamic personality and performance. He has excelled both at home and overseas from Entertainments Manager in Europe and Cruise Director out of the US for Carnival Cruise Lines to compering the critically acclaimed ‘Mardi-Gras’ show in Ibiza in 2004-6. He was best known, however, to many in the UK as the quick witted ‘live’ shopping channel presenter in the glory days of Bid/Price-Drop TV. Paul continues to host many events and festivals up and down the country, representing brands and sponsors in his own fun and genuine style.
