Press Release

More than 1,100 people attended the glittering award ceremony, the biggest event in the pub industry calendar, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London's Park Lane and hosted by comedian and TV star Rob Brydon.

The Publican Awards, in association with Sky, recognise the achievements of top pub companies across 18 categories.

Corporate Events designed and produced a stunning and technically innovative set and stage for the iconic London event venue that included a massive 40 feet wide blended video screen, twin LED video wall panels and two massive beer barrel shapes that formed the canvas for some exciting and innovative projection mapping.

Corporate Events technical production manager Adrian Tolson comments “We have produced the Publican Awards previously and wanted to raise the bar this year, so looked at what we could do that would resonate with the event brand and audience. Creating massive, 15 feet tall beer barrels that became a projection canvas was an interesting challenge.”

Account Manager Katie Lewis continues the theme: “When we started to look at projection mapping onto the barrels and then getting our in-house creative team to weave these into the narrative for the evening, we were very excited about how we were going to raise the production levels again this year.”

Taking projection mapping into the awards production arena is just one of the areas in which Corporate Events continue to innovate. Production manager Adrian Tolson concludes: “To add a bit more to the lighting effects, we installed 16 Chauvet Legend lighting heads on the show. These are the lights we’ve all seen on TV shows like Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor, and they add a huge impact to the overall lighting pallet on the night.”

The Publican's Morning Advertiser's group editor Rob Willock said: "The Publican Awards judging is an extensive and rigorous process which really puts businesses under scrutiny. In these challenging trading times it is fantastic to see our award winners continuing to grow their businesses and bring innovations to their customers.

"All our winners are driving their businesses forward with energy and passion. Congratulations to them all."
