Popular awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 18th June at the Hilton Park Lane
Max Publishing has announced that the Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards 2020 will be moving to Thursday 18th June, 2020, from its planned date of Wednesday 29th April, due to escalating events surrounding the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
The B&LLAs, which celebrate and reward excellence in every element of the brand and lifestyle licensing industry, will still take place at the Hilton Park Lane in its traditional lunchtime slot.
Ian Hyder, Joint MD of Max Publishing which owns and organises the B&LLAs, commented: “Due to the escalating events, in the UK, Europe and internationally, regarding COVID-19 Coronavirus, our priority is to safeguard our colleagues, friends, staff and supporters, so we have taken the decision to move the B&LLAs 2020 to this new date.
“We would like to thank our amazing sponsors for their full support in this decision and look forward to welcoming everyone to the Hilton Park Lane in June.”
Brand Licensing Europe is once again the headline sponsor of the awards, with trade organisation, Licensing International, also supporting the programme. Finalists across the Property, Product and Retail categories of the B&LLAs 2020 are due to be announced at the end of next week.
A host of major companies and brands have also pledged their support as category sponsors.
