Trio of big names set for the B&LLAs

Rory Bremner, Abbey Clancy and LEON co-founder John Vincent to present at the awards.

A strong line-up of presenters have been confirmed for this month’s Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards 2017.

Following on from an insightful welcome speech by Red or Dead co-founder Wayne Hemingway at the inaugural event last year, John Vincent, co-founder and CEO of LEON – the trailblazing ‘naturally fast food chain’ – will share his inspiring story of building this rapidly growing brand at the start of proceedings.

Rory Bremner, the comedian and impressionist whose accurate mimicry and sharp satire have earned him the acclaim of pundits and the fury of politicians, is to host the awards ceremony.

“With the current political scene providing such a rich source of material, Rory is in his element. It is great that this man of many voices is able to join us at the B&LLAs, which fall halfway through his sell out tour,” commented Ian Hyder, joint managing director of Max Publishing, which owns the B&LLAs.

Continuing Max Publishing’s commitment to The Light Fund, a charity raffle will form a memorable part of the B&LLAs, and not just for the amazing prizes that have been donated – the winning tickets will be drawn by presenter and model Abbey Clancy.

Abbey has recently launched a licensed jewellery range with Argos, which has been named in the finals of the B&LLAs.

The Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards 2017 takes place at The Dorchester Hotel, London on Thursday, April 27.

The Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards are owned and organised by Max Publishing. The headline sponsor of Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards 2017 is Brand Licensing Europe. The awards are officially supported by LIMA, the licensing industry’s trade association.
