First Network were one of seven companies shortlisted for the title of Best Event Provider 2017 and were delighted to have been honoured with a place in the top three amongst some very tough competition.
Winners were announced at a glittering black-tie occasion at London’s Battersea Evolution on Friday. The evening was hosted by Eamonn Holmes and other celebrity guests.
