Ferrari to host Regional Press Awards

I am looking forward to working with Nick Ferrari again at the Regional Press Awards. Nick was the popular host of the last two awards before they were rested. The occasion needs someone who understands that the awards are a serious business but also that people have come down to London for a good time ... and Nick judges it perfectly. He is happy to go off script and bring a bit of humour and his knowledge of the industry to proceedings. And this time he is donating his services to support for the awards. Profits are going to the Journalists' Charity. There's more good news for the awards too - Camelot have signed up as sponsors. The first round of judging finishes today and shortlists - the top six in each category - will be announced soon. The lunch will be held at the Park Plaza Riverbank on London’s Albert Embankment at 12 for 12.45 on Wednesday May 11. Tickets are £70 (plus VAT) per person or £700 plus VAT per table to include a pre lunch drinks reception and wine with lunch. Special rates for overnight stays may be available.
