Principal. Global Events and Leonardo Hotel & Conference Venue Hinckley Island are double winners at the event industry Oscars in London

Two award-winning event businesses celebrated doubly hard on Friday night after being presented with two gongs apiece at the prestigious M&IT Awards in London. Dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the events industry, the M&IT Awards were launched in 1987 and honour the remarkable accomplishments of industry leaders and innovators.

Events management agency Principal. Global Events won Best Intermediary Agency Mid-size (21-40 employees) and sales and marketing manager Eleni Kyprianou won The Chris Peacock Rising Star of the Year category, which was introduced in 2023 following the sad and sudden passing of Conference Care’s popular founder.

“I’m completely shocked and I’m honoured to have won an M&IT Award tonight. I’m so happy to be here and I’m excited to celebrate.,” said Eleni Kyprianou after winning on Friday night.

And Leonardo Hotel & Conference Venue Hinckley Island clinched trophies for Best UK Hotel and Best UK Conference Centre – both first-time M&IT Awards wins for the venue.
