AEV Emerging Talent Award Nominees

As a member of the Association of Event Venues (AEV), we are proud to support their brand-new Emerging Talent Award.

Launched earlier this year, the award was created to celebrate our event colleagues who demonstrate exceptional promise, creativity and commitment. All the nominees are within the first one to five years of their events career and work across all sectors of the events industry.

Each venue can nominate up to three of their colleagues for this award and we are delighted to announce that our nominees for this year are:

Ellie Jones, Marketing Manager
Becky Davies, Group Business Systems Executive
Holly Jones, Event Manager

Our nominees will now go forward to the AEV’s judging panel and we look forward to the final shortlist being announced on 26th November at the AEV’s annual conference.

Alison Griffin, Managing Director of Telford International Centre and AEV Board Member says: “The AEV (Association of Event Venues) Emerging Talent Class of 2026 is an exciting new initiative that recognises talented, hard-working and passionate people beginning their careers in the events industry.  Open to entrants from across all venue roles, this inclusive and supportive award will provide the five winners with valuable opportunities for continued learning, greater industry exposure, and access to wider training and development.  Becky, Ellie and Holly are all highly deserving nominees, and I wish them every success in the next stages of the awards process.”
