The industry's most coveted awards
Now in its 23rd year, this well-established event, which has long been sponsored by some eminent companies, is recognised as one of the most
prestigious in the industry. The competition encourages and rewards high standards and professionalism, representing the ultimate recognition of special
achievements in different sectors of the industry. Past finalists and winners have felt very proud of their certificates and trophies, as well as benefiting from enhanced
company profiles through substantial media coverage in the trade press, and high visibility at the awards ceremony itself.
The competition culminates in a ceremony luncheon, which over the years, has become an established annual event on
the industry calendar. This year’s function will take place on Thursday 19th January 2012 at the Brewery in Chiswell Street, London EC1.
The gathering of some 450 BIFA Members and their guests provides a valuable opportunity to praise the well-deserving
winners, as well as networking with colleagues, customers and other industry representatives.
