This was the second year we have worked with Faversham House to produce the DIY Week Awards, again taking place at the Hilton Hotel on Deansgate in Manchester.
With all the big brands
from the DIY industry attending there was every effort made to make this
evening a night to remember and celebrate.
On the run up to the event our Technical Team
designed and constructed a twin screen branded set and stage in our very own
workshops. The Media Team created all of
the media presentations including award programs and filming edits of all of
the nominee’s products and retail outlets.
So after a lot of preparations the 13th
of November arrived and our crew began the event build at 06.30 am. The day had its challenges but everything was
set up and in place for the afternoon rehearsals that were full of laughter and
went without a glitch putting everyone in high spirits for the evening ahead. The guests arrived at 19.30 pm through the
branded revolving doors to a sparkling champagne reception, which also hosted
four 50” plasma screens that were
utilised to display a film montage of the nominees, incorporating their
sponsors.

| The Casino proved a hit with the delegates. |
The guests were welcomed into the Deansgate
Suite for the delicious 3 course meal and awards ceremony that was hosted by
Terry Alderton. The awards ceremony was kicked with the opening sequence and an
array of impactful sound and lighting effects making the set and stage come to
life. The night ran smoothly and perfectly to time allowing the guests to have
plenty of fun at their casino after party until the early hours of the morning.
