Guy Woodward, BSME Chair – “Many thanks to everyone who attended this year’s BSME Rising Stars Awards – and huge congratulations to all those shortlisted, and to all the winners, a list of whom can be found below. I very much hope that, regardless of whether or not you or your colleagues emerged victorious on the night, you enjoyed the evening. Certainly I’m very proud that the BSME is continuing its quest to engage with every level of the industry. Editors have enough time in the spotlight, so it’s wonderful to be able to reward the truly fantastic work done across the magazine world in every discipline of the business. Working through the shortlists to decide on the winners showed just how much talent there is within the industry, and I was really pleased too that the winners represented a really broad range of titles and activity.
Many thanks to the Salt Yard Group, Grace & Favour, Urban Retreat and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group for generously donating raffle prizes. We raised enough money to fund 15 music therapy sessions for our 2014 charity, Nordoff Robbins."
