A medal-winning host for BIFA awards celebration


Entries to the BIFA Freight Service Awards are due early this month – today is the day to put the final touches to your submission and deliver to eventsoffice@bifa.org


Readers familiar with the BIFA Awards format will know that all entries are reviewed after the closing date and a shortlist of finalists announced for each category. Representatives of the finalists are in for a gold standard of a celebration at the BIFA Freight Service Awards ceremony on Thursday 16 January 2020 in the presence of TV presenter and wheelchair basketball star Ade Adepitan MBE. Having survived polio as a youngster, Ade has


succeeded as an international Paralympic wheelchair basketball player and has an extensive CV of broadcasting experience, including appearances on CBBC and documentaries such as Dispatches, Unreported World, World’s Busiest Cities and, in 2019, Africa with Ade Adepitan. He is also a regular on the One Show and co-host for major sporting events. On the basketball court, Ade’s achievements include a Bronze medal in the Athens Paralympics, Silver in the European Championships and Gold in the World Championships. BIFA Director General Robert Keen commented: “Overcoming challenges to achieve success characterises all of the companies that
