The events and communications specialist Grass Roots announced the winners of its Premier Partner awards at a company event last week to mark the end of its financial year. This is the third year running that the agency has rewarded suppliers that have delivered exceptional service over the past year.

The two winners, nominated by Grass Roots employees, are:

MEP Destination Management, an Istanbul-based DMC, supported Grass Roots on three major events in the city over the past year.  They were nominated for consistently demonstrating the Grass Roots values, always going above and beyond to ensure an event’s success, providing invaluable advice – often in areas outside of their remit – and always being a safe pair of hands.  Grass Roots flew in Vice President Birgul Ozden to accept the award.

Audio visual and staging specialists MSP (Merseysound) have helped Grass Roots’ live event production team produce quality events in challenging situations both nationally and internationally.  They were nominated for being excellent ambassadors for Grass Roots with clients, consistently responding to tight deadlines while exceeding expectations and donating AV equipment and staff for the charitable event 'Glamour in Gloucester' produced free of charge by Grass Roots. The company’s Managing Director Colin Reader accepted the award.

Nick Bender, Global Head of Events, Grass Roots said: “With each event we need to be able to rely on our supplier partners to help us deliver a perfect experience every time.  These awards recognise that MEP and MSP consistently go the extra mile for us and demonstrate our sincere appreciation in having such trusted partners on whom we can always depend”.
