copywriter from Swordfish Marketing, agrees that the industry vote is an important part of the process. He says: “We were impressed with the way the awards evening was staged. We’ve attended a few over the decades and this was among the best. The evening’s comedian host turned out to be a true assest and we enjoyed seeing him bamboozled by some of the industry’s preposterous product names!

We like that as it gives excellent credibility.” Nick Foot, PR director at BWW Communications also enjoyed the evening.
