The event, held on Thursday 23 January 2025, recognised excellence across the local hospitality sector, with Nottingham Venues’ dedicated team receiving well-earned accolades. The company entered five categories and either won, or was placed, in three.
Among the evening’s highlights was the remarkable victory of Sing Ding Yu and her Operations Team at The East Midlands Conference Centre, who were awarded the prestigious Top Team Award. The team’s commitment to delivering exceptional service, developing a strong team culture and contributing to record-breaking sales earned them the award.

They exemplify our core values – inclusive, ambitious, fair, open and respect and have contributed to record sales and exceptional team engagement.”
In addition to success for the Operations Team, individual team members were also recognised for their hard work and contribution to the success of the business.
Lassad Jaballah was named runner-up in the Unsung Hero Award category, honouring his invaluable behind-the-scenes efforts that keep operations running seamlessly.
