I’m delighted to announce that One Great George Street has been crowned the world’s ‘Best Fashion Event Venue’ at the global Prestigious Star Awards!

With over 2,000 venues reviewed annually and only around 2 percent achieving nomination status, the awards represent one of the highest distinctions in the events industry.

On accepting the award I noted: ‘It is an absolute honour to accept this award for the world’s ‘Best Fashion Event Venue’ especially against such tough competition from our global industry peers. I’d like to dedicate this award to the whole team at One Great George Street who work tirelessly every day to elevate our clients’ events, especially during all our recent London Fashion Week shows.”

I would like to extend our thanks to everyone who voted for us, for the warm hospitality we experienced beneath the glittering chandeliers of the Georgian Ballroom at Harrods, not to mention the afterparty at Funkybuddha, and last but by no means least to Jessamie Dunton-Rose & Habib Amir for making the #PrestigiousStarAwards possible.

What a night!
