With the awards winding down to a close and guests commented on how much fun they had and how unique the Premier Guarantee Excellence Awards are. The atmosphere in the room was spectacular, combining WWII themed props including sandbags, food crates, bunting, a vegetable patch and even a spitfire along with waiting staff and actors in fancy dress, live swing music and a distinct venue that all went hand in hand to throw everyone back in time to a post WWII street party.
A very different experience to that of the 2014 awards, what will next year bring?
At Premier Guarantee, we dare to do things differently
“The whole event exceeded our expectations in its attention to detail. The correspondence leading up to the event was fabulously themed and the day itself even more so. The best awards ceremony we have ever attended. A truly amazing experience, a once in a life time event SO FAR. Phenomenal." - Kelly Simpson, Goulden Simpson
“Superb attention to detail.” - Enzo Macari, Pallant Homes Ltd
“I thought that this was probably the best awards ceremony that I have attended over many years in the industry. It was different, with added suspense in the build-up, excellently put together with a relevant theme that was the done justice by the costumed staff, drinks, food, props, decorations, films, audio etc. The venue was also great, as was the timing being early lunchtime midweek. Congratulations for putting on a wonderful event that was unlike all the other award ceremonies.” - Roy Magro, Millwood Designer Homes
