Hundreds attended the 2020 event through YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook live as a total of 27 finalists, from more than 90 entrants, contended for OGUK’s ten awards.

“Congratulations to all our winners and finalists for their phenomenal achievements,” OGUK Chief Executive Deirdre Michie said in an organization statement.

“Although we could not be together in person, it is so important to highlight the progress our supply chain and businesses have made, and the continuous hard work of the people throughout our industry,” Michie continued.

The OGUK representative described the celebration as a “super way” to acknowledge great people, achievements and delivery, despite the current challenges the industry faces.
