An Inclusive Event

This is a celebration but we appreciate that there's no one size fits all and people love to celebrate differently.

We have a number of designated quieter spaces at the venue (Burr & Co and The Snug) and a prayer space (Hospitality Suite), all available throughout the evening. See the floorplan ahead of the event, or ask a member of staff to direct you. Those who wish to pray are asked to please bring their own prayer mats. You can see the venue's disabled access information here too. We are also aware that the event coincides with the end of Yom Kippur and that a number of guests need to arrive later. Finally, if you have advised of any special dietary requests or requests for no alcohol, these have been communicated to the venue and will be catered for.

    The Reception

    The Reception will be held in the Balmoral Suite, where you can convene with the rest of your party. If you have items for the Cloakroom, this is located on the Ground Floor and reception staff will direct you on your arrival at the venue. There are branded group meeting points in the Balmoral Suite for guests who have booked a premium table. We invite you to be photographed with your group in front of the Business Culture Awards media wall. This image will be sent to you following the event.

    Tim Pointer, Founder and Chair of Judges for the Business Culture Awards will be welcoming and celebrating all of the Finalists and Judges gathered at the event.

    We are proud of our almost 6-year partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and that, through our ongoing events and activities, we are able to continue to support a charity which touches so many lives. We're delighted be joined by GOSH and you're invited to make a donation tonight.

    Your Host - Reverend Richard Coles & Live Music

    Few can claim a CV as eclectic as this year's compere, Reverend Richard Coles. He is a prolific, best-selling author, radio presenter, TV regular and former-Church of England priest; who was the vicar of Finedon in Northamptonshire from 2011 to 2022. He first came to prominence as the multi-instrumentalist who partnered Jimmy Somerville in the 1980s band the Communards, with hits including "Don't Leave Me This Way". Reverend Richard is a frequent guest panellist on shows such as Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie To You? and QI. Often described as Britain's most famous vicar, Richard was the inspiration for the main character in the BBC hit comedy Rev, a programme for which he also served as consultant.

    For the night's live musical entertainment, we’re excited to be unveiling a band to get you out of your seats ready to party with an array of Pop, Funk & Soul hits! The Compilation are an exciting & energetic party band with a broad repertoire spanning all eras from the 60s to the present day. They cover best selling artists from Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, White Stripes, Stevie Wonder & many, many more.

    The Awards Ceremony

    The moment has arrived to find out who this year's Winners are! There are 26 category awards to be announced as well as one Overall Winner, selected from all of our category Winners. Very best of luck to all of tonight's Finalists.
