The National Outdoor Event Association (NOEA), the UK’s leading trade association for the outdoor events industry, recently hosted its 16th Annual Convention and Awards dinners at the Pump Rooms in Bath to recognise the very best of event companies, support services and people.

Laceys Solicitors were proud sponsors of the Event Team of the Year category, which was for the best proactive and effective event team working on an outdoor event.

The shortlisted of finalists were Black Deer Festival, eat:Festivals, English Heritage Events, Bournemouth 7s Festival however English Heritage Events were the ones who took the award on the night.

Alistair Turner, Chair of the Judging Panel said:
“Winning a NOEA Award really means something and is a hallmark on the website of every winner this evening. To get onto the shortlist alone is a great achievement, the competition is incredibly tough, and the judges only recognise the very, very best.”
