In addition to the Awards listed above we will announce the prestigious accolades of Young Driver of the Year, Young Rider of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Motorsport and Special Contribution to Motoring. The event also provides an excellent opportunity for Guild members to socialise with their colleagues in the automotive PR industry and our special guests.

Tickets for the event are priced at £99, to include pre-dinner drinks, a three-course festive meal and wine. Members can view the menu here and book their tickets here.
