Once again we have gathered together a distinguished panel of judges including Peter Rigby, Andrew Brown and Greg Hitchen, CEOs of Informa, WTG and Terrapinn respectively. With decades of experience between them these judges are ideally qualified to assess the quality entries we have received.

It promises to be another exciting and highly enjoyable afternoon.
