The project management brief included sponsor liaison, financial management, nomination and interview management, judging and event execution.
Elevate: The Outcome
Under Podiem’s management, and in partnership with the IoH Committee, the awards enjoyed an increase in numbers across the board from that of previous years. Specifically, there was a 17% rise in the number of nominations received, a 53% increase in the total number of scheduled interviews, a 35% increase in the number of attended interviews and a 10% increase in attendees (590). The awards also raised over £11,000 for nominated charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI.

A huge thank you for everything that you and your team did to help make the Institute of Hospitality Awards for Professionalism 2019, the huge success that they were. A lot of hard work went into the pre-planning of the awards and the production on the night – I think we all have a lot to be proud of.
