The Awards are designed to recognise the best suppliers to the fast growing festival industry. The inaugural Festival Supplier Awards showcased the companies and individuals that help to create the UK’s most well-loved festivals.

The event hosted by comedian Andrew Ryan was organised by A.M.P. Events, more than 350 guests from the festival and event industry attended the awards at Newbury Showground, following the first day of the Showman’s Show. A total of 26 awards were presented at the event with categories honouring all aspects of festival production from temporary structures to safety barriers and catering.

To enter the awards companies were asked to submit a relevant up to date case study with supporting images, videos and client testimonials. The case study needed to clearly demonstrate the impact of their products and services supplied to the festival and how they worked with the organiser to deliver solutions to suit the festival’s needs. Entrants also had to demonstrate why the festival organiser chose them, what special features distinguish their products and services from their competitors and what new services or initiatives they have developed or launched in the last 3 years.
