Gaby Cartwright, Head of Partnerships at LIVE, said: “Tonight’s LIVE Awards were a fantastic celebration of the people who make this industry what it is. We continued to build on ideas introduced in previous years, including our vegan-first menu, and expanded our commitment to inclusivity with a dedicated no- and low-alcohol bar in partnership with Club Soda, plus a calm space for anyone who needed a breather. Huge congratulations to all of this year’s winners, and a big thank you to all our sponsors, we can’t wait to come back even bigger in 2026.”
