Retail, Product, Property, Marketing and Honorary Achievement winners crowned in glittering ceremony.
The winners of this year’s Licensing Awards have been crowned in a glittering ceremony, which saw some 1,300 retailers, licensors, licensees and industry executives pack into The Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
Welcoming everyone to the event – which was presided over by Vernon Kay – Jakki Brown, joint md of Max Publishing, which owns and organises The Licensing Awards, commented: “These awards exist only because of you. Licensing, to be successful, needs everyone to work together. This event is testament to the enormous talent, passion and commitment of our industry.”
