The awards programme received over 250 entries across the 23 awards categories, so competition has been fierce and the standards are very high - and Front Events was delighted to have been nominated for two categories. The entries have now been shortlisted and the esteemed panel of judges, comprising organisers, suppliers, venues and shows will come together to provide expert opinion, debate and decide the winners, to be announced at the Awards on the 10th April 2015.

Front Events launched its nationwide Financial Services Expo shows in 2013 with its flagship London show, held at the historical Old Billingsgate in the heart of the City. This was followed by the launch of two popular regional shows, FSE Manchester and FSE Glasgow. FSE now boasts an unrivalled line-up at each of its events, as well as Cii CPD-accredited seminar programmes and specialist lending sessions in the Shawbrook Bank Academy.

The next show takes place on 20^th May at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.

James Prosser of Front Events said of the nominations:

"We are absolutely thrilled to be nominated for not one, but two, Exhibition News awards. It's a real mark of quality within the events industry and shows that what we're doing with the Financial Services Expo is on the right track.

"It's a great motivator for us as we prepare for our second show of the year in Manchester and we're looking forward to maintaining our high standard of events throughout 2015. Fingers crossed for 10th April!"
