Time is running out to nominate for The London PA Awards

If you have yet to nominate yourself or a colleague for The London PA Awards, be sure to make your submission soon. Nominations close on 10 June, so don’t miss out.

The London PA Awards are the brainchild of Amy Law, Director of Sales and Events at The Hippodrome. Having worked with countless PAs during her career she soon came to realise that they were the unsung heroes of the industry and she wanted to put this right. So together with support from London Launch, Tate Recruitment and The London Chamber of Commerce & Industry, she launched the awards back in 2014 to great success.

The first year saw 170 nominations with more than 10,000 votes cast. The following year saw 300 nominations and 17,000-plus votes and this year the number of nominations has already smashed the previous two years’ totals, with just two weeks left for submissions.

Each award category is assigned a champion and sponsor who, together with the event committee, source a venue for a networking event to promote the specific category and the awards in general. This gives the PAs the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, plus the opportunity to sample some first-class venues. The venues benefit from being introduced to upwards of 50 PAs, all with the ability to hire the venue for future events – all in all a win-win situation.

The awards are a simple idea but with a far reaching effect not to be under-estimated. Nominations close on 10 June, the Nominations party will be held on 14 June and the Awards Ceremony on 1 July.
