I am delighted to announce that the BBC’s political editor Nick Robinson is to host The MJ’s awards gala night in London on June 21.
Macclesfield-born Nick has been the BBC’s political editor since 2005 with particular responsibility for the flagship news programmes, Today on Radio 4 and the Ten O’Clock News on BBC1. He was previously in the same role at ITV News and before that he was chief political correspondent for BBC News 24, deputy editor of Panorama and a presenter on Radio 5 Live. Nick began his TV career as a trainee producer. He is a high profile and entertaining correspondent and will help make our awards night a brilliant event.
The charity gala night takes place at the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, London where 102 finalists in the 16 awards categories will hear whether they have become winners. A further 69 councils and projects have been commended. See the finalist brochure out in The MJ (26th April edition) to see why the finalists have been short-listed.
A massive thank you again to all those teams who have worked so hard to send us their entries to our 16 categories, It shows real determination by entrants to ensure their best work is seen and promoted outside their own localities.
