The LCN Awards 2018 rewarded the hard work and dedication of the industry's top flight launderers and drycleaners. This year’s sell-out event attracted a crowd of enthusiastic operators, manufacturers and suppliers to celebrate the winners. There were more entries than ever before and and two exciting new categories! A big thank you to everyone who entered and to our sponsors and judges.
The LCN Awards 2018 dinner and ceremony, presented by TV celebrity Kate Thornton (Loose Women and a host of other TV favourites), at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole were sponsored by HJ Weir, Ideal Manufacturing, Tonrose, Bryant Plastics and supported by CINET and The Guild of Cleaners and Launderers, and took place on Thursday, 27 September. The LCN Lifetime Achievement Award went to Ken Cupitt, FGCL, Chairman of Council & Examination Board, Guild of Cleaners and Launderers who received a standing ovation from an appreciative audience.
