“We pride ourselves on the integrity of our judging process at every stage, but this year I know how tough it’s been for our independent panel as the nominations have been incredible.
“We’re thrilled for all the finalists, and we can’t wait to see who are crowned the winners at the Gala Dinner on 22 September.”
